QUESTION

C Guard not work as intended with rlutil.h

Asked 2017-Oct-05 at 19:18

I'm trying to use rlutil.h but everytime these function are used in more than one header I have compiler error about multiple definition of 20-30 variables. rlutil is a simple header to color terminal in linux and windows in C and C++.

The variables are something like that

The problem is that the header is only set up so that it works with C++, where the const values defined in the header rlutil.h are private to each translation unit (TU) — think source file plus headers — that includes the header. By contrast, in C, they are normal global variables defined in each TU that includes rlutil.h, leading to the multiple definitions problem.

There isn't a trivial fix — unless switching from C to C++ is deemed trivial. The header attempts to be language-neutral between C and C++, but it fails on this count. Once again, proof that C and C++ are different languages.

In C, you would need to have code like:

QUESTION

Change console colors and keep the output in C++

Asked 2017-Apr-18 at 01:39

I need to make a CLI similar to the Window's CMD. To make the color command I'm using the functions rlutil::setColor and rlutil::setBackgroundColor in rlutil.h. But, to change the colors in all the console I have to clear the screen (rlutil::cls()), or only the new outputs will appear with this changes as in the images.

Without the cls:

With the cls:

In the cmd (I used @echo off to not display the current directory):

This is the function I made:

If you use the low-level native Windows console functions you can change the colors without affecting the text. Get the console handle with GetStdHandle or _get_osfhandle and then call WriteConsoleOutputAttribute.

Install rlutil

Just #include "rlutil.h" in your source code. It automagically detects if you are using C++ or C and adjusts the code accordingly (e.g. std::string vs. char*).
You can download this project in either [zip](http://github.com/tapio/rlutil/zipball/master "zip") or [tar](http://github.com/tapio/rlutil/tarball/master "tar") formats.
