How do I bring a class into a function??

Nov 18th, 2008

I want to be able to bring the single instance class into a function of another class without having to take each seperate little variable from the class and inject it in, can I just do something like

void Yeah(class *The Class)

and then pass the class in easily??? Or maybe even in a non pointer form?

you could make one class derived from the other

 Help with Code Tags 
 C++ Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
class A
{
...
};
 
class B : public A
{
  ...
};
class A
{
...
};

class B : public A
{
  ...
};

Don't PM me with questions -- you might get a nasty PM in response. If you have a question then post it in one of the forums.

Don't follow Ancient Dragon's advice; it's horrible design.

What do you mean exactly by "single instance class"? Why don't you pass the instance by reference?
