why wont this work, i get the following error: error C2059: syntax error : ''{ error C2334: unexpected token(s) preceding ''{''; skipping apparent function body

  
#pragma once
#include "CC_Cell.h"

class CC_Board
{
public:
	CC_Board(void);
	~CC_Board(void);

	// draw the board

	void draw(void);
private:
	CC_Cell * cells[17][13];
	int cell_map[][2] = {  //error is here

		{ 1, 2 },
		{ 3, 4 }
	};
};

you can't define variables like that in the class, only declare them. you have to put it in the constructor

edit: btw, this isn't the initializer list

, the initializer list is on the constructor:


CC_Board::CC_Board() 
: Var1(0), var2(2), var3(55)  // initializer list, sometimes on the line above right after CC_Board()
{
   ...
}

Actually, it is called an initializer list (See section 8.5.1 in the standard). And what occurs after the : in a constructor definition is called a mem-initializer list (12.6.2). Though it''s usually pronounced member intializer list.

int a[] = { 1, 2, 3, 4 } // initializer list
CC_Board::CC_Board() : Var1(0), var2(2), var3(55) // member initializer list
