Hello all,

I have this code:

class B{
public:
A hello;
B(){}
~B(){}
};

class A{
public:
A(){}
~A(){}
};

I get the error "A does not name a type" when declaring A hello.

Basically, I want to instatiate a member of class A in class B. What syntax am I missing?

Thanks in advance

You need to define A before B. Also, use code tags, it makes it easier to read.

Put definition of class A before class B.

edit: arhg, matter of seconds

Thanks for the response, but what if I have the following?

class B{
public:
A hello;
B(){}
~B(){}
};

class A{
public:
B hello;
A(){}
~A(){}
};

You cannot have that. Think about how much memory would that require - infinite. B includes A, which includes B, which includes A... But you can have pointers:
