How to write a block - Error adding sub function to a block

Hello!

I’ve been using the examples from “how to write a block” as a base to
create
my own.

Using one of them a created some kind of sink. In it I added some
auxiliary
function accessible from the outside in order to get the values from the
buffer. So far so good…

With the other one I made a file sink, which stores some statistics
calculated on the block. Then I went to add a simple function just to
close
the current file and open a new one every few hours.
What happens is that I followed the same procedure to add the sub
function
to be accessible from the outside, and for some reason I can’t seem to
find
it gives me an error which I never seen on the other one.

The procedure I used on the other was this:

  1. On the header define the function as public
  2. After the my_class::work() define the function and the code
  3. On the howto.i add the function as in header file

I don’t know if this was correct but it worked on the first one.

I hope you can help me. Thanks in advance!

Next is the errors and the code:

You have a basic C++ scope issue … the above should be:

int howto_co_cx_stat::create_new_log(char file_name[255])

I’ve made the change and now its working.
It’s a beginers error :slight_smile:
Many thanks!
