For those new to message boards please try to follow a few simple rules when posting your question.- Choose the correct forum for your message. Posting a VB.NET question in the C++ forum will end in tears.
- Be specific! Don't ask "can someone send me the code to create an application that does 'X'. Pinpoint exactly what it is you need help with.
- Keep the subject line brief, but descriptive. eg "File Serialization problem"
- Keep the question as brief as possible. If you have to include code, include the smallest snippet of code you can.
- Be careful when including code that you haven't made a typo. Typing mistakes can become the focal point instead of the actual question you asked.
- Do not remove or empty a message if others have replied. Keep the thread intact and available for others to search and read. If your problem was answered then edit your message and add "[Solved]" to the subject line of the original post, and cast an approval vote to the one or several answers that really helped you.
- If you are posting source code with your question, place it inside <pre></pre> tags. We advise you also check the "Encode HTML tags when pasting" checkbox before pasting anything inside the PRE block, and make sure "Ignore HTML tags in this message" check box is unchecked.
- Be courteous and DON'T SHOUT. Everyone here helps because they enjoy helping others, not because it's their job.
- Please do not post links to your question in one forum from another, unrelated forum (such as the lounge). It will be deleted.
- Do not be abusive, offensive, inappropriate or harass anyone on the boards. Doing so will get you kicked off and banned. Play nice.
- If you have a school or university assignment, assume that your teacher or lecturer is also reading these forums.
- No advertising or soliciting.
- We reserve the right to move your posts to a more appropriate forum or to delete anything deemed inappropriate or illegal.
cheers,

I am using makefile / make DEFINES as common resource for project.
DEFINES += define PORT_CONFIGURATION
DEFINES += undefine SERIAL_SETUP
DEFINES += define STATUS_BAR
DEFINES += define TRACE_MENU
DEFINES += define TEST_SERIAL_PORT
DEFINES += define SERIAL_PORT_SETUP
DEFINES
# add Apr15
DEFINES += define DEBUG_MDI
DEFINES += define TRACE_CONSOLE
Is there a simple way to ERASE all DEFINES and start fresh?
My code has few places of DEFINES and commenting them out is impractical.
I did ask Mr Google , and the above did not work.
Thanks

I have run out of options to resolve this in another forum.
The "conclusion " was - it is a linker error...
I am asking for help to actually correct the error.
There are no other errors posted.
This is ALL (of the errors ) I have to go by.
I will be happy to provide RELEVANT info , barring " what are you trying to do...".
I am deliberately NOT adding more info , for now, I just do not want to
derail / influence your ideas of fixing it.

Look at the error message (again):
mainwindow.cpp:(.text+0x270): undefined reference to `ORIGINAL_TERMINAL_MainWindow::ORIGINAL_TERMINAL_MainWindow(QWidget*)
In your mainwindow.cpp source you are calling the constructor of the ORIGINAL_TERMINAL_MainWindow class. But the linker did not find a definition of that constructor anywhere in the modules and libraries that are being used to build your application. So you need to find out exactly where it is defined and why the linker cannot find it.

Calling break inside nested for loops breaks all loops or just the inner loop where break is found?
Do I need to do this to exit all loops?
bool breakouter = false;
for(int x=0;x<count;x++)
{
for(int y=0;y<count;y++)
{
breakouter = true;
break;
}
if(breakouter)
break;
}

Only the inner loop.
If you want to break out of more loops you can do something like:
for(int x=0;x<count && !breakouter;x++)
{
for(int y=0;y<count;y++)
{
breakouter = true;
break;
}
}

Probably one of the last valid usecase for goto.
Especially if more than 2 inner loops.
Obviously, if your loops are doing many resources allocations, you'll need to do manual cleaning.

There were lots of valid 'goto' use cases cases, before for loops, while loops, and arbitrarily nested if-else, were invented.
Structured exit from multiply nested loops were invented 40+ years ago. In 1980 vintage CHILL, you could do
outermost: <loop control outermost>
<outermost statements>
intermediate: <loop control intermediate>
<intermediate statements>
inner: <loop control inner>
<statements>
exit intermediate;
<end inner>
<more intermediate statements>
<end intermediate>
<more outermost statements>
<end outermost>exit intermediate; would skip the "more intermediate statements" as well as further intermediate iterations, going directly to "more outermost statements" and continue with further outermost iterations.
If it rather said exit outermost;, the "more outermost statements" would be skipped as well, and the outermost loop would be left.
exit would be a short form of exit innermost;
This construct never made it into mainstream language such as the C derived ones. One partial explanation is differences in label semantics: In CHILL, a label identifies a block, not a point in the code. Furthermore, a statement is a block; it need not be embraced to be labeled.
I would be willing to trade a lot of other 'improvements' in more recent language extensions in favor of something like this.
Some concepts were not well developed in 1980. If a language of today were to introduce such a multi-level exit, it would probably come with something 'finally'-like mechanisms to do required cleanup operations regardless of loop exit method.

The proprietary language in which I worked for many years had exactly what you describe. A label was for a BLOCK/ENDBLOCK that you could EXIT. A label could also precede IF, DO, and the equivalents of switch) without using the BLOCK keyword. The language was designed in the late 70s. This was in the telecom sector, so they probably took the design from CHILL.

If my preprocessor define / undefine code hierarchy is in this sequence:
#define TEST
#undefine TEST
#define TEST
assuming it is read "top to bottom "
is "TEST" defined?

Most certainly
PS. By #undefine I assume you mean #undef. #undefine is not a standard preprocessor keyword

It's easy enough to test it with a few lines of code. But why would you want to do this in the first place?

I rely on "intelisense" to help me to add CORRECT #include header file.
It sort of works in "left to right " fashion .
If I need to add "header_.h" file I have to step thru all options BEFORE I have "header_.h "
option.
#include "../ now intlesence gives all options after "/".
The "problem is " - until CORRECT , valid option is presented and selected I still have no way to see if it actually have an option to select desired header.
It would be nice to have option to determine required path BEFORE going thru the intelisense steps.
Sort of in reverse direction, opposite intelisense way.
Is there?

Since you are using #include " ... (double quotes) rather than #include < ... (angle brackets), you should know what the path is, as you are referring to local headers. But you could simplify things by adding the required header locations to the list of include directorie for the compiler to search.

For standard include files, doc pages for the function usually show what include file to use. For your own, or other dependencies, not much luck. You can try to grep function name in *.h files. Another strategy is to use an “uber include” that includes all or a lot of other h files, but it can slow down compilation.

I could challenge you to create a setup to prove the significance of this: A compilation that would consistently take noticeably (more than 1%) longer compilation time with an "uber include" than with individual includes for what you really need. I am quite sure that for an example showing significant higher compilation times, you would have to make a system wide search for .h files and include them all in the "uber" file 
There are other good reasons for avoiding the "uber" approach, though: Pollution of the name space. Not because I worry about symbol table sizes, but about too many symbols being acceptable. Sort of in the same class as languages that doesn't require declaration: If you misspell a name, it is not a misspelling, but creation of a new variable. Or, if your language lets you make local redefinitions of names in an outer scope: Remove the local (re)definition, and your code will reference a completely different variable. The "uber"

The "uber" approach makes available to you a whole lot that you are not aware of, not its origins. You won't have an error message that a declaration is missing. You don't know what you are making use of. One day someone adds a similarly defined function to your project, doing things in a different way, and your code fails ...
Ideally, you should know every single instruction your code executes. That is of course impossible; we have to rely on libraries, OS functions etc., but we select them, deliberately and concerned. The "uber" approach invites to introducing a lot of code that is not at all selected, neither deliberately nor concerned, it just is there, ready to manipulate your data in ways that you do not know.
Blackboxing principles go both ways: Your class, module, namespace or whatever should not expose more of itself that what is absolutely necessary for others to know. But at the same time: Inside that black box, you should not see more of the environment than absolutely necessary for the blackbox to know. One of the nice features of VS is that it tells when you are using namespaces, but not using any names from them!
