Greetings of all! Help with a mistake please! I started studying C ++ and I'm converting a python plugin into C ++. What am I doing wrong?

//Connector (Dynamic) Object

BaseObject\* suspcon = BaseObject::Alloc(180000011);

suspcon->InsertAfter(cubet);
        suspcon->SetName( "Suspension Con " + op->GetName() );
        
        BaseContainer* suspconBC = suspcon->GetDataInstance();
        
        suspconBC->SetData(FORCE_TYPE, 9);

FORCE_TYPE = Xcode tells me "Use of undeclared identifier 'FORCE_TYPE'"
All problems are connected with the Connector))) I suspect that I do not understand something about this))) Thanks in advance!

Hi evgenyp,

I don't recognise that particular flag. But just a thought, have you included the necessary header file? Looks like it might be dyninteraction.h

Thanks, I added #include "dynconstraintobject.h" and
#include "dyninteraction.h" everything works! Honestly I did not think that the files will be called so))) Thank you!

Hi  evgenyp, thanks for writing us.

Beside the missing header needed to fix the undeclared identifier, considering you're moving the first steps in the C++ arena, it's always a recommended practice to check your memory allocation before using any of them.

Specifically i'd suggest to review the code and include:

  
BaseObject* suspcon = BaseObject::Alloc(180000011);  
if (suspcon == nullptr)  
  return; // beware to return the "proper" value which your function is expected to return in case something fails  
  
suspcon->InsertAfter(cubet);  
  
suspcon->SetName("Suspension Con " + op->GetName());  
  
BaseContainer* suspconBC = suspcon->GetDataInstance();  
if (suspcon == nullptr)  
  return; // beware to return the "proper" value which your function is expected to return in case something fails  
  
suspconBC->SetData(FORCE_TYPE, 9);  

Best, Riccardo

Thanks for the remark) But what to return?

Hi evgenyp, actually depends on how you've defined the function/method to which this code belongs to.
Maybe it's worthy to have a look here where functions are briefly explained together with return values.
