How to specialize a generic enum in Swift?

In C++, how do I globally use an enum in a multi-file project?

• I have an enum declared globally in main.cpp like this... enum STATE {TITLE, LEVEL} state; The player class in player.cpp uses it...When I compile, I obviously get this error because player.cpp doesn't know that STATE exists since it's in main.cpp... player.cpp:68: error: ‘state’ was not declared in this scope player.cpp:68: error: ‘TITLE’ was not declared in this scope player.cpp:71: error: ‘LEVEL’ was not declared in this scope player.cpp:75: error: ‘LEVEL’ was not declared in this scope But when I try to declare it using extern in my global.h file, I get this... global.h:17: error: use of enum ‘STATE’ without previous declaration global.h:17: error: a storage class can only be specified for objects and functions In file included from player.cpp:1: I've tried extern enum STATE and extern STATE state...Nothing seems to work...What's the correct way to do this?

• Answer:

  EDIT: You need to remove the enum list declaration from every file except in the header file, otherwise you will get that error The header file contains the declaration, the .cpp files contain the implementation Place the enumerated list inside the header file (the .h file), then it will automatically be included in any of the .cpp files which references to the header file
