seprate compilation for classes

[katyusha]

Is it possible to seperately compile two classes (suppose class A and
class B ) , and use class A
in class B .I wish to compile two classes class A in A.c and A.hh and
class B in B.c and B.hh , and then use one class in another , by
combining them during link time .(gcc -c A.o B.o -o output )

In order to use class B in class A, class A MUST see class B's
declaration.
If it use only as a reference or pointer and never dereferentiate it,
you can do a forward declaration, like having "class A;" in B.h.
If you want more than that, like using A's members in B, then you have
to include "A.h" in B.h in order to allow B see A's full declaration.

Just #include "A.hh" in B.hh and use A in B.

Btw, I think it's a bad idea to name your source files with ".c" if
they are C++ files.

You can use forward declarations to solve this problem. For details
