functions messing up!

[Belldore]

Im trying to use gotoxy which was removed from conio.h apparently.

#include <stdio.h>
#include <conio.h>
#include <windows.h>


void gotoxy( COORD c )
{
SetConsoleCursorPosition( GetStdHandle( STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE ), c );
}

void gotoxy( int x, int y )
{COORD c;c.X = x;c.Y = y;
gotoxy( c ); // call standard version
}

I have some other stuff in a cpp file that uses it all but all these errors come up when i run it.



1>c:\users\host\documents\visual studio 2010\projects\game1\game1\goto.h(7): error C2084: function 'void gotoxy(COORD)' already has a body

I dont know exactly what it means. it says it already has a body...which im quite sure it dosnt.

From the error message it appears these errors occur in a header file. Don't put function definitions in header files unless they have internal linkage.
