[Click] Compile a non-element class in Click

[Tushar Soni]

Well as you mentioned, it is a non-element class. So due to this reason it wont be present in elements.conf file.

Now your class will be compiled when there is a call to this class. That could for example creating an object of this class.

Say i have non-element class NEC and it is defined in nec.hh and nec.cc. I have an elemental class called EC and it is defined in ec.hh and ec.cc.

/*ec.hh*/
#ifndef EC_HH
#define EC_HH
//include the necessary headers

#include "nec.hh"

CLICK_DECLS

class EC: public Element
{
    //some code
    NEC _nec_obj,
    //some code
}


CLICK_ENDDECLS
#endif

/*ec.cc*/
//include the necessary header

CLICK_DECLS

//your code

CLICK_DECLS

#include "nec.cc" //this is required if you have functions of the class defined in nec.cc (not required if you have inline functions in nec.hh)

EXPORT_ELEMENT(EC)

Well this is how i am using a non-element class for my code. I hope this helps.

Regards,

Tushar
