In CCS5.3, how do I define a C++ class in a header file?

I am unable to define classes in .h header files in CCS5.3.

I get the following error: "..\pincfg.h", line 4: error #20: identifier "class" is undefined

I am able to define and implement classes in a regulare .cpp file and it compiles just fine.

You'll get that error in C mode. Is that header file also included in some C file? Are you trying to compile pincfg.h directly without including it in some C++ file? Which file is CCS attempting to build when you get that error?

The .h header files are scanned by compiler in C and C++ modes, so wrap your C++ code in:

/*C++ Section*/
#ifdef __cplusplus

/* your class here*/

#endif

This will prevent C mode from dealing with the C++ code.
