I have an odd error I can't figure out.
I am using Awesomium(latest ver) with C++ and I want to create a listener to connect the JS to the running program.
I have included the /include and /lib folders correctly,
I am also including necessary headers
#include <Awesomium/WebCore.h>
#include <Awesomium/STLHelpers.h>
#include <Awesomium/JSObject.h>
#include <Awesomium/WebViewListener.h>
However, visual studio keeps saying there's something wrong with my code
class BrowserListener : public Awesomium::WebViewListener
{
public:
virtual void onCallback(Awesomium::WebView* caller, const std::wstring& objectName,
const std::wstring& callbackName, const Awesomium::JSArray& args)
{
// Check starts here
if (objectName == L"app" && callbackName == L"settings") {
std::cout << "callback called with " << args.size() << " args\n";
}
}
};
It underlines Awesomium::WebViewListener as red, saying:
Namespace Awesomium, not a class or struct name.
Namespace Awesomium has no member class WebViewListener
This is the part I can't solve,
please help :)
edit: to be clear, I am able to use awesomium to load sites as intended. It's just the listener object that refuses to work
WebViewListener is a namespace nested in the Awesomium namespace, not a class. Change the base class to Awesomium::WebViewListener::Load.

So i just learned how to seperate classes and the youtube totourial is stressing on doing this alot, here's the link
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NTip15BHVZc&list=PLAE85DE8440AA6B83&index=15
My code is the exact same as his, and in the cpp file theres this thing:
mainClass::myfunction; (mainclass is the name of my class, myfunction is my function)
when i try to execute my program, it gives an error:
unidentified reference to 'mainClass::myfunction()'
here's my main.cpp file code:
#include <iostream>
#include "mainclass.h"
using namespace std;
int main()
{
mainClass bo;
bo.myfunction();
return 0;
}
here's my mainclass.h code:
#ifndef MAINCLASS_H
#define MAINCLASS_H
class mainClass
{
public:
myfunction();
};
#endif // MAINCLASS_H
my mainclass.cpp:
#include "mainclass.h"
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
mainClass::myfunction()
{
cout << "I am a banana" << endl;
}
I don't know much about these so could you just tell me what the errors here are, because i copied everything correctly from the guy's totourial but still it doesn't work
P.S: this happens to me alot, i understand everything, nothing works, i copy everything, nothing works, and then i literally do exactly what the person is doing, still nothing works on all three of PC's, so i dont think the problem is with the devices lol
I doubt you completely copied and pasted that code because I'm fairly sure a teacher shouldn't be teaching having functions without a specified return type, but let's jump into it anyways...
Possibility #1
You meant to create a constructor for the class. In that case, please make sure the constructor function has the same name as the class. Also, you can't call it through .mainClass(), as it is a constructor.
class mainClass
{
public:
mainClass();
};
mainClass::mainClass()
{
cout << "I am a banana" << endl;
}
Possibility #2 You meant to create the class member function myfunction. You really should be specifying what return type your function is of. Some compilers will auto-assume int return type, and so the function you created is int myfunction();, but you really should be specifying it as void myfunction(); since you didn't return anything. Addl. info: Does C++ allow default return types for functions?
Next, change how you are giving the definition, by adding the return type.
void mainClass::myfunction()
{
cout << "I am a banana" << endl;
}
Possibility #3 Those should work, but another issue is that you might not have linked mainclass.cpp, so there is no definition available. In code blocks, right click on the project name and hit Add Files, then add the mainclass.cpp so the linker can define mainClass::myfunction().
To troubleshoot if the mainclass.cpp is being built with the project, try adding
#error I'm included! to the file mainclass.cpp after #include "mainclass.h". If you get an error I'm included!, then it is linked and you can remove the #error.
Overview
I am trying to develop a C++ application which allows for user-created plugins.
I found a nice library called Pluma (http://pluma-framework.sourceforge.net/) which functionally seems to be exactly what I want.
After going through their tutorial, I was able to (with a bit of difficulty) convince the plugin to compile. However, it refuses to play nice and connect with the main program; returning various errors depending on how I try to implement them.
Problem
If I comment out the line labeled 'Main problem line' (in the last file, main.cpp), the plugin compiles successfully, and the main app can recognize it, but it says that "Nothing registered by plugin 'libRNCypher'", and none of the functions can be called.
If I compile that line, the main application instead says "Failed to load library 'Plugins/libRNCypher.so'. OS returned error: 'Plugins/libRNCypher.so: undefined symbol: _ZTIN5pluma8ProviderE".
My guess is that it has something to do with the way the plugin was compiled, as compiling it initially did not work and Code::Blocks told me to compile with "-fPIC" as a flag (doing so made it compile).
Code
Code below:
Main.cpp
#include "Pluma/Pluma.hpp"
#include "CryptoBase.h"
int main()
{
pluma::Pluma manager;
manager.acceptProviderType< CryptoBaseProvider >();
manager.loadFromFolder("Plugins", true);
std::vector<CryptoBaseProvider*> providers;
manager.getProviders(providers);
return 0;
}

#include <vector>
#include <bitset>

virtual std::vector<std::string> GetCryptoRecApps() const = 0;
virtual void HandleData(std::vector< std::bitset<8> > _data) const = 0;
};
PLUMA_PROVIDER_HEADER(CryptoBase)
#endif // CRYPTOBASE_H_INCLUDED
RNCypher.h (This is part of the plugin)
#ifndef RNCYPHER_H_INCLUDED
#define RNCYPHER_H_INCLUDED
#include <string>
#include <vector>
#include <bitset>
#include "../Encoder/Pluma/Pluma.hpp"

{
return "RNCypher";
}
std::vector<std::string> GetCryptoRecApps() const
{
std::vector<std::string> vec;
vec.push_back("Storage");
return vec;
}
void HandleData(std::vector< std::bitset<8> > _data) const
{
char letter = 'v';
_data.clear();
_data.push_back(std::bitset<8>(letter));
return;
}
};
PLUMA_INHERIT_PROVIDER(RNCypher, CryptoBase);
#endif // RNCYPHER_H_INCLUDED
main.cpp (This is part of the plugin)
#include "../Encoder/Pluma/Connector.hpp"
#include "RNCypher.h"
PLUMA_CONNECTOR
bool connect(pluma::Host& host)
{
host.add( new RNCypherProvider() ); //<- Main problem line
return true;
}
Additional Details
I'm compiling on Ubuntu 16.04, using Code::Blocks 16.01.
The second error message seems to not come from Pluma itself, but a file I also had to link, #include <dlfcn.h> (which might be a Linux file?).
I would prefer to use an existing library rather than write my own code as I would like this to be cross-platform. I am, however, open to any suggestions.
Sorry for all of the code, but I believe this is enough to reproduce the error that I am having.
Thank You
Thank you for taking the time to read this, and thank you in advance for your help!
All the best, and happy holidays!
I was not able to reproduce your problem, however looking at
http://pluma-framework.sourceforge.net/documentation/index.htm,
I've noticed that:
in your RNCypher.h file you miss something like
PLUMA_INHERIT_PROVIDER(RNCypher, CryptoBase)
it seems also that there's no file CryptoBase.cpp containing something like
#include "CryptoBase.h"
PLUMA_PROVIDER_SOURCE(CryptoBase, 1, 1);
finally, in CryptoBase.h I would declare a virtual destructor (see Why should I declare a virtual destructor for an abstract class in C++?) and provide a definition to it, while you should not declare a default constructor without providing a definition to it (see for instance Is it correct to use declaration only for empty private constructors in C++?); of course the last consideration is valid unless there's another file in which you have provided such definitions.
Here is the error I am receiving when running the project that I am using the DLL in:
The odd thing is that this was working at one point. I took a break from this project for a while and now it is not working. Not much has changed besides changing a couple of the parameters.
My setup includes a project in which I build the DLL. This project is then used in a solution with another project that I use to test it. I followed this example: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms235636.aspx in which I also followed the first time and had it working, now it has stopped.
After realizing it seems to be only one of the functions that is causing the problem I have removed all of the extra code, tried renaming the function, removing everything in it and it is STILL not working.
You can see the function definitions and signatures to see how I am attempting to get this to work below
I have also tried using the "SCOREINTERFACECPP" macro I created on the function instead of the class and I get the same error.
In the project I am testing it in I added the DLL project as a reference and a dependent project, then imported the header file. The other functions I have in the dll (that I have removed from this code for simplicity sake) seem to be working.
Header:
#ifdef SCOREINTERFACECPP_EXPORTS
#define SCOREINTERFACECPP __declspec(dllexport)
#else
#define SCOREINTERFACECPP __declspec(dllimport)
#endif
#include <time.h>

In my experience, usually problems of this type come with two things you should check (assuming the DLL was built successfully):
Check that the DLL being loaded at runtime is the correct version.
Ensure that the function in question is actually exported.
For the first issue, you can use a utility such as Process Explorer and look at the DLL handles that are loaded for your running exectuable. If you are using Visual C++, you can also look at the Output Window listing of the DLL's that are loaded, and ensure that the version you're using is being loaded.
Many times during development, you may have several (either by accident or by design) versions of your DLL lying in a directory that is accessible by Windows (see DLL Search Order), and thus an old or different version of your DLL is being loaded when you run your application.
For the second issue, there is dumpbin.exe, but I find the Dependency Walker a little more friendly to use. These utilities will show you the functions that are exported from the DLL.
If it is discovered that the function was not exported, then you need to rebuild your DLL, ensuring that __declspec(dllexport) has been used on the function or class you're exporting.
I'm having an issue with a pretty simple code
I am following the tutorial of chrono::engine http://www.chronoengine.info/mediawiki/index.php/Demo_fourbar
I do not have much experience in C++ programming (I have some experience in Java), therefore I tried to define MyEventReceiver (a class from the tutorial) in a different file (MyEventReceiver.h and MyEventReceiver.cpp) to get my head around classic structure of a C++ code
Here is the version of the code
MyEventReceiver.h
#ifndef RECEIVER_H
#define RECEIVER_H
#include "physics/CHapidll.h"
#include "physics/CHsystem.h"
#include "irrlicht_interface/CHbodySceneNode.h"
#include "irrlicht_interface/CHbodySceneNodeTools.h"
#include "irrlicht_interface/CHdisplayTools.h"
#include "irrlicht_interface/CHirrWizard.h"
#include "core/CHrealtimeStep.h"
#include <irrlicht.h>
// Use the namespace of Chrono
using namespace chrono;
// Use the main namespaces of Irrlicht
using namespace irr;
using namespace core;
using namespace scene;
using namespace video;
using namespace io;
using namespace gui;
class MyEventReceiver : public IEventReceiver
{
public:
MyEventReceiver(ChSystem* asystem, IrrlichtDevice* adevice, ChSharedPtr<ChLinkEngine> aengine);
bool OnEvent(const SEvent& event);
void setText_enginespeed(IGUIStaticText* _text_enginespeed);
IGUIStaticText* getText_enginespeed();
private:
IGUIStaticText* text_enginespeed;
ChSystem* msystem;
IrrlichtDevice* mdevice;
ChSharedPtr<ChLinkEngine> mengine;
};
#endif
with the implementation as follows in MyEventReceiver.cpp
#include "MyEventReceiver.h"
// Constructor
MyEventReceiver::MyEventReceiver(ChSystem *asystem, IrrlichtDevice *adevice, ChSharedPtr<ChLinkEngine> aengine)
{
// store pointer to physical system & other stuff
// so we can tweak them by user keyboard
msystem = asystem;
mdevice = adevice;
mengine = aengine;
}
bool MyEventReceiver::OnEvent(const SEvent& event)
{
// check if user moved the sliders with mouse..
if (event.EventType == EET_GUI_EVENT)
{
s32 id = event.GUIEvent.Caller->getID();
IGUIEnvironment* env = mdevice->getGUIEnvironment();
switch(event.GUIEvent.EventType)
{
case EGET_SCROLL_BAR_CHANGED:
if (id == 101) // id of 'engine speed' gui
{
s32 pos = ((IGUIScrollBar*)event.GUIEvent.Caller)->getPos();
double newspeed = 10*(double)pos/100.0;
// set the speed into engine object
ChFunction_Const *spe_funct = dynamic_cast <ChFunction_Const*> (mengine->Get_spe_funct());
spe_funct->Set_yconst(newspeed);
// show speed as formatted text in interface screen
char message[50]; sprintf(message,"Engine speed: %g [rad/s]",newspeed);
text_enginespeed->setText(core::stringw(message).c_str());
}
break;
}
}
return false;
}
void MyEventReceiver::setText_enginespeed(IGUIStaticText* _text_enginespeed)
{
text_enginespeed = _text_enginespeed;
}
IGUIStaticText* MyEventReceiver::getText_enginespeed()
{
return text_enginespeed;
}
and the main file in Main_2.cpp (which I emptied, it gives me the same error with or without the code inside - which is basically only setting up the 3D engine Irrlicht and some mechanics features from the collision model of chrono::engine)
#include "MyEventReceiver.h"
int main()
{
return 0;
}
Basically the code defines an event receiver, so that the user after running the program can interact with the 3D environment built from the chrono::engine and Irrlicht engine through GUI manipulation
I define all the required libraries in the MyEventReceiver.h file and the required namespaces
The problem is that it does not compile (please note that I already tested the engines - with the same #include and using namespaces in just one file and it was working in a different project - ), i think the problem is coming from the structure of the header files
I got those lines of error
1>MyEventReceiver.obj : error LNK2005: "public: virtual bool __thiscall irr::scene::RTSCamera::OnEvent(struct irr::SEvent const &)" (?OnEvent#RTSCamera#scene#irr##UAE_NABUSEvent#3##Z) already defined in Main_2.obj
1>MyEventReceiver.obj : error LNK2005: "public: virtual void __thiscall irr::scene::RTSCamera::OnRegisterSceneNode(void)" (?OnRegisterSceneNode#RTSCamera#scene#irr##UAEXXZ) already defined in Main_2.obj
etc... (it goes on like this)
and the final mistake
1>C:\Users\****\Documents\Visual Studio 2010\Projects\TutorialChronoEngine\Debug\TutorialChronoEngine_2.exe : fatal error LNK1169: one or more multiply defined symbols found
I am using Visual Studio 2010 C++. I defined one global solution, and several projects in this very solution (the program I wrote above is one project among others)
I am sure it must be pretty easy to solve, but can't really find the solution. Let me know if you need further details
Thanks a lot
Best regards
Vincent
Edit : If I put all the codes in one single file as follows
#include "physics/CHapidll.h"
#include "physics/CHsystem.h"

mengine = aengine;
}
bool OnEvent(const SEvent& event)
{
// check if user moved the sliders with mouse..
if (event.EventType == EET_GUI_EVENT)
{
s32 id = event.GUIEvent.Caller->getID();
IGUIEnvironment* env = mdevice->getGUIEnvironment();
switch(event.GUIEvent.EventType)
{
case EGET_SCROLL_BAR_CHANGED:
if (id == 101) // id of 'engine speed' gui
{
s32 pos = ((IGUIScrollBar*)event.GUIEvent.Caller)->getPos();
double newspeed = 10*(double)pos/100.0;
// set the speed into engine object
ChFunction_Const *spe_funct = dynamic_cast <ChFunction_Const*> (mengine->Get_spe_funct());
spe_funct->Set_yconst(newspeed);
// show speed as formatted text in interface screen
char message[50]; sprintf(message,"Engine speed: %g [rad/s]",newspeed);
text_enginespeed->setText(core::stringw(message).c_str());
}
break;
}
}
return false;
}
private:
ChSystem* msystem;
IrrlichtDevice* mdevice;
ChSharedPtr<ChLinkEngine> mengine;
};
int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
return 0;
}
In that way, I avoid defining several times functions from the Irrlicht 3D engine that are not defined as inline. Unfortunately, this way of coding can become really cumbersome if a project becomes big (having to define all classes that rely on the 3D engine in one unique .cpp file), is there a design pattern to follow so that it is possible to avoid multiple defined objects with each class defined in a separate file ?
Thanks a lot

The linker is complaining about two of your functions being defined multiple times. As you could probably figure out from the errors, these functions are:
irr::scene::RTSCamera::OnEvent(struct irr::SEvent const &)
irr::scene::RTSCamera::OnRegisterSceneNode(void)
What's most likely happening here is that these two functions are defined in a header file, but:
Their definition does not appear directly in the class definition (so they are not implicitly declared to be inline);
Their out-of-class definition in the header file is not explicitly marked as inline.
As a result, if the header is included multiple times in different translation units (i.e. in different .cpp files), multiple definitions of the same functions will end up being present in the object code of those translation units.
When merging them, the linker will complain that you are breaking the ODR (One Definition Rule).
I have an application (in MS Visual Studio) that contains 3 projects:
main (the one that contains the main function)
device (models some hardware device)
config (contains some configuration for both other projects)
So the dependency graph is:
main depends on device, which depends on config
main depends on config
The config project contains a Singleton, which holds some configuration parameters.
I decided to turn the device project into a DLL. When i did this, it seems that i got two instances of the Singleton in the config project! I guess this is a classic problem, which might have a good solution. So how can i fix this?
I reproduced the problem with the following (relatively small) code. Of course, in my case there are some 30 projects, not just 3. And i would like to make just 1 DLL (if possible).
// config.h
#pragma once
#include <string>
#include <map>
class Config
{
public:
static void Initialize();
static int GetConfig(const std::string& name);
private:
std::map<std::string, int> data;
};
// config.cpp
#include "config.h"
static Config g_instance;
void Config::Initialize()
{
g_instance.data["one"] = 1;
g_instance.data["two"] = 2;
}
int Config::GetConfig(const std::string& name)
{
return g_instance.data[name];
}
// device.h
#pragma once
#ifdef _DLL
#define dll_cruft __declspec( dllexport )
#else
#define dll_cruft __declspec( dllimport )
#endif
class dll_cruft Device
{
public:
void Work();
};
// device.cpp
#include "device.h"
#include <iostream>
#include "config.h"
void Device::Work()
{
std::cout << "Device is working: two = " << Config::GetConfig("two") << '\n';
}
// main.cpp
#include <iostream>
#include "config.h"
#include "device.h"
int main()
{
std::cout << "Before initialization in application: one = " << Config::GetConfig("one") << '\n';
Config::Initialize();
std::cout << "After initialization in application: one = " << Config::GetConfig("one") << '\n';
Device().Work();
std::cout << "After working in application: two = " << Config::GetConfig("two") << '\n';
}
Output:
Before initialization in application: one = 0
After initialization in application: one = 1
Device is working: two = 0
After working in application: two = 2
Some explanations on what the code does and why:
Main application starts
The first print is just to show that the singleton is not initialized yet
Main application initializes the singleton
The first print shows that the initialization worked
Main application starts the "hardware device"
Inside the DLL, the singleton is not initialized! I expect it to output two = 2
The last print shows that the singleton is still initialized in main application
When I ran into this same problem I solved it by creating another DLL whose sole purpose is to manage the singleton instance. All attempts to get a pointer to the singleton call the function inside this new DLL.
You can decide where singleton should reside and then expose it to other consumers.
Edited by OP:
For example, i want that the config instance appear only in the EXE (not DLL).
Turn the instance into a pointer
static Config* g_instance;
Add a separate initializing function to device's exported functions:
void InitializeWithExisting(Config* instance) {g_instance=instance;}
After initializing the singleton normally, use the second initialization:
Config::Initialize();
Config::InitializeWithExisting();
I believe that defining and accessing singleton instance this way might solve your problem:
Config& getInstance()
{
static Config config;
return config;
}
This way you also don't need to have (and call) the Initialize method, you can use constructor for initializing, that will be called automatically when you call getInstance for the first time.
