Util.h: Internal use only?

Jan-Tschada — Fri, 01 Apr 2011 08:33:24 GMT

Using the Beta 3 version of the File Geodatabase API for Windows the IFields struct seems to be only forward declarated.

Steps to reproduce:
Include "Util.h" and try to compile. Compiler error: IFields missing identifier

Could it be, that this header file is for internal use only?

Thanks in advance

It's not for internal use only. You need to also include Row.h or just use FileGDBAPI.h.

Util.h should have had a forward declaration of IFields. It was a minor oversight that it was omitted, which has been corrected. The corrected version will be available in the next drop of the API, which will occur in a few weeks from now.

In the meantime, you could actually add the forward declaration to Util.h yourself, or as Lance suggested, simply include the lynch pin header file FileGDBAPI.h which includes all of the other header files.
