Have you tried looking at the headers to see how the macro is defined? That would help, you know... Try dropping the parentheses with the address of the 'myMock' thing. MOCKPP_CHAINRE_FOR_EXT(MyMock, do, ext) myDo; (that might create a declaration). If 'myDo' is a member, you will need to initialise it in the c-tor's initialiser list. If it's not, there is no initialisation, only assignment, after this.

MOCKPP_CHAINER_FOR_EXT(...) is a #define, the above expanded to: MyMock::FooBar myDo(&myMock); so it seems clear the FooBar has to be constructed with a &myMock. if i delcared it and initialize later, then the FooBar has to provide some method leting me set in the &myMock. but i failed finding this information because the library is toooooo complex and full of macro definitions. -- steven woody (id: narke) How Far You Fall Doesn't Matter, It's How You Land - Haine, La (1995) Back to top Victor Bazarov Guest Posted: Sat Oct 29, 2005 8:50 pm    Post subject: Re: Split A Macro (mockpp) Steven Woody wrote: Quote: "Victor Bazarov" <v.Abazarov (AT) comAcast (DOT) net> writes: Steven Woody wrote: i am using a third-party library (mockpp), which comes in many macro for use. for example MOCKPP_CHAINER_FOR_EXT(MyMock, do, ext) myDo (&myMock); it declared and initialized a 'myDo' object in a combined form. but i want to seperate the declaration from initialization for some purpose. what will the syntax likely be?

If 'myDo' is a member of a class, you don't have a choice. A declaration and an initialiser _have_to_ be separate.

Did you look at the preprocessor output? What do 'do' and 'ext' mean? i checked the headers for the difinition. MyMock is a mock class which was gernerated to mocking a real object. so, the 'do' is a mehtod in the interface of the real class. MOCKPP_CHAINER_FOR_EXE(...) used to create a object which control how the mock object will behavior when the 'do' is called. and 'ext' is just a text extension to prevent any possible name conflicts.
