C++: Avoid .cpp files with only an empty (de)constructor
- by Martijn Courteaux
Hi,
When I have a header file like this:
#ifndef GAMEVIEW_H_
#define GAMEVIEW_H_
#include <SDL/SDL.h>
class GameView
{
public:
GameView();
virtual ~GameView();
virtual void Update() = 0;
virtual void Render(SDL_Surface* buffer) = 0;
};
#endif /* GAMEVIEW_H_ */
I need to create a .cpp file like this:
#include "GameView.h"
GameView::~GameView()
{
}
GameView::GameView()
{
}
This is a bit stupid. Just a .cpp file for an empty constructor and deconstructor.
I want to implement that method simply in the header file. That is much cleaner.
How to do this?
