Re: preprocessor/linker c++ error

Completely wrong list to ask. This appears to be a lesson from an
instructor.

BTW, you are missing something glaringly wrong.

What's wrong with the followind C++ code ?

int main(int argc, char **argv)

At compilation some unexepected errors appear:

g++ -g3 -Wall mult.cc file1.cc file2.cc file.hh -o mult

preprocessor directives doesn't seem to work at all (#ifndef _FIS_H_
/#define _FIS_H_):

$g++ -g3 -Wall mult.cc file1.cc file2.cc file.hh -E | grep "void
f1(int x,int y, int z);"
void f1(int x,int y, int z);
void f1(int x,int y, int z);
void f1(int x,int y, int z);
void f1(int x,int y, int z);

$g++ -g3 -Wall mult.cc file1.cc file2.cc file.hh -E | grep "int a,b,c"
int a,b,c;
int a,b,c;
int a,b,c;
int a,b,c;

Functions/variables declarations (declared in file.h) appear 4 times
in g++ preprocessor output, not one.

Same files, in C variant (using .c and .h file extensions) are
compiled (using gcc) without any error or warning.
