Anonymous Monk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Venerable Monks
I am gluing some components written in C++ under windows platform. I am using SWIG for the same. Being newbie in SWIG I wanted some suggestion from you in the following problem:-

Given class Grand_Father from which Father is publically inherited and again from this son is publically inherited.

Now inorder to call function foo() in Son I wrote interface file like this:- 
%module example
%import Grand_Father.h
%import Father.h
%{
#include "son.h"
%}
%int foo();

When I compiled it i got error- Syntax error input(line_number)... pointing to definitions in Father class which are absolutely correct. Can anyone throw light on this as to where i have gone wrong?

    I would say your biggest mistake is that you've chosen SWIG, but I'm biased :) On the other hand, if you want to stick with SWIG, you would greatly help yourself (and anyone trying to help you) by providing an actual error message and actual C++ sourcecode (what swig generates, and Father/son/Grand_Father).
