Hi Everyone
I just thought of placing my Eigen data-types as members inside a class. I am using visual studio to do the compiling. It is giving invalid data type but when I place the same in main() I do not get any errors. The exact error is "Error:Expected a type specifier"
Here is the code I am using

Code: Select all

class landmark
{
   Quaternionf orient(1, 0, 0, 0);
};
void main()
{
  Quaternionf orient(1, 0, 0, 0);
}


Please help me out.

This is not how member variables are initialized in C++. You need a constructor:

Code: Select all

class landmark
{
public:
   landmark()
    : orient(1, 0, 0, 0)
  {
  }
protected:
  Quaternionf orient;
};


Please, open a book on C++ !
