Pointer to incomplete class "PhysicsBodyData"

[louishamelers]

I'm trying to access the PhysicsBody properties but I keep getting the "Pointer to incomplete clas" error:

My character.hpp has #include <physics.hpp> and defines PhysicsBody physicsBody. The weird thing is that I have a seperate player class defined in a .hpp file which looks like this:

Which seems to work without a problem...

I have no clue where this problem could originate from, any and all help is very much appreciated. You can see the full repository here for more details.

Thanks in advance. Cheers!

Hey @louishamelers ,

Thanks for opening up this discussion! I gave your repo a quick look and it looks like you're using two different types in these two files. In the case of Player.hpp, you're using a PhysicsBody type. In Character.hpp, you're using a PhysicsBodyData* type.

I gave the raylib source code a look to find what these are and it looks like PhysicsBodyData is defined twice in the code. It looks like PhysicsBodyData is defined as a pointer to a PhysicsBody, but is then also re-defined into it's own struct. I'm unsure why this has been done, but I have a feeling this is part of the reason why this is breaking.

I suspect the most immediate way to resolve this would be to simply use a PhysicsBody in your Character class instead of a PhysicsBodyData struct.

If that doesn't work then I'd suggest opening up an issue directly with raylib, since this seems to be an issue with their definitions, rather than a build issue.

I hope this helps narrow down the issue!

I gave your solution a try, but to no avail. It still gives me the exact same error, which is weird since I don't reference the PhysicsBodydata type anymore... Anyway, i'm submitting an issue on the raylib page. thanks for your help!
