template argument deduction/substitution failure in operator<<() - g++

I am getting the following compiler error with a class I am trying to compile with is almost identical to another class that compiles fine.
Here is the compiler error:
spell.cpp: In function ‘std::ostream& muddify::character::operator<<(std::ostream&, const muddify::character::spell&)’:
spell.cpp:11:9: error: no match for ‘operator<<’ (operand types are ‘std::ostream {aka std::basic_ostream}’ and ‘const id_t {aka const unsigned int}’)
out <
This seems strange to me as id_t is just a typedef of unsigned int and also I have other operator overloads that are compiling fine with pretty much the same syntax. I am compiling this code under g++ version 4.9.2 on fedora 21 using the c++11 standard.
Below is my function:
std::ostream& muddify::character::operator<<(std::ostream & out,
const muddify::character::spell& s)
{
out <<s.id << "," << s.name << "," << s.desc
<< attribute_strings[unsigned(s.attribute)];
return out;
}
I am experimenting with this project with using fully qualified namespaces for improved project management so I suspect that would be part of the issue.
If you need further code or explanations I am happy to provide that.
Thanks
Paul

The namespace experiments you mentioned sound like the issue.
The error message is complaining of a missing operator in the 'muddify' namespace, not 'std'. In other words, you need to define that operator (or somehow point it at the one in namespace std).

CGAL Update from 4.13 to 5.5

I have updated a project using CGAL 4.13 to CGAL 5.5. It uses the kernel:
typedef CGAL::Exact_predicates_exact_constructions_kernel K;
typedef K::FT dbl;
and some functions do not compile now anymore. For example the one below:
inline void decouple(const dbl& val,dbl& decoupled)
{
...
decoupled=CGAL::Gmpq(val.exact().mpq());
}
../geometricTools.h:476:50: error: 'const ET' {aka 'const class
boost::multiprecision::numberboost::multiprecision::backends::gmp_rational'}
has no member named 'mpq' 476 |
decoupled=CGAL::Gmpq(val.exact().mpq());
A second problem is a line wher e a string ("123/456") is converted to a number:
dbl AlgorithmHdf5::getDbl(int n, int d)
{
...
dbl ret(m_vDbl[ind]); // argument is a std::string
return ret;
}
AlgorithmHdf5.cpp:71:36: error: no matching function for call to
'CGAL::Lazy_exact_ntboost::multiprecision::number<boost::multiprecision::backends::gmp_rational
::Lazy_exact_nt(__gnu_cxx::__alloc_traitsstd::allocator<std::__cxx11::basic_string<char
, std::__cxx11::basic_string >::value_type&)' 71 | dbl ret(m_vDbl[ind]);
these lines used to work with CGAL 4.13 but do not with CGAL 5.5. I'd appreciate any help on this. Compiler: g++ (Ubuntu 11.2.0-19ubuntu1) 11.2.0
Epeck::FT is a wrapper around some rational type that depends on what is available. If you have GMPXX or LEDA, it may use that. In your case you have GMP and a recent enough Boost, so it uses Boost.Multiprecision. If you disable that with -DCGAL_DO_NOT_USE_BOOST_MP, you may get back to the Gmpq your old code was apparently expecting.
Boost.Multiprecision does not use reference counting, so decoupled=val.exact() should be sufficient for that type. To construct from std::string, it may help to first construct a FT::Exact_type (or CGAL::Exact_rational) and then convert that to FT. You may want to file an issue on github about this direct construction from a string, it looks like something that CGAL could support.

Clion IDE, Whenever i create new file gives error [duplicate]

In the journey to learning C++ im learning through the C++ Manual thats on the actual website. Im using DevC++ and have hit a problem, not knowing whether its the compilers error or not.
I was going through this code bit by bit typing it in myself, as I feel its more productive, and adding my own stuff that ive learnt to the examples, then I get to initialising variables. This is the code that is in the C++ manual
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main ()
{
int a=5; // initial value = 5
int b(2); // initial value = 2
int result; // initial value undetermined
a = a + 3;
result = a - b;
cout << result;
return 0;
}
This is popping up a compiler error saying " Multiple definitions of "Main""
Now This is on the actual C++ page so im guessing its a compiler error.
Could someone please point me in the right direction as to why this is happening and what is the cause for this error.
Multiple definitions of "main" suggests that you have another definition of main. Perhaps in another .c or .cpp file in your project. You can only have one function with the same name and signature (parameter types). Also, main is very special so you can only have one main function that can be used as the entry point (has either no parameters, one int, or an int and a char**) in your project.
P.S. Technically this is a linker error. It's a subtle difference, but basically it's complaining that the linker can't determine which function should be the entry point, because there's more than one definition with the same name.
Found I had two file references in my tasks.json file that were causing this error and which took me a long time to figure out. Hope this helps someone else..... See "HERE*****" below:
"-I/usr/include/glib-2.0",
"-I/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/glib-2.0/include",

When I practiced CMake, I encountered the same problem. Finally, I found that the source code path set in the cmakelist project was incorrect. As a result, the compiled files included many duplicate files generated during CMake execution. As a result, compilation errors occurred

Attempting to print SerialPort inputs to the console

First my code:
#include <iostream>
#include <thread>
#using <System.dll>
using namespace System;
using namespace System::IO::Ports;
using namespace System::Threading;
int main()
{
SerialPort^ mySerialPort = gcnew SerialPort("COM5");
mySerialPort->BaudRate = 9600;
mySerialPort->Parity = Parity::None;
mySerialPort->StopBits = StopBits::One;
mySerialPort->DataBits = 8;
mySerialPort->Handshake = Handshake::None;
mySerialPort->RtsEnable = true;
while (1)
{
Console::WriteLine(Console::ReadLine());
}
}
The idea was to read from the SerialPort and write to the console. Source
Originally I was going to use:
std::cout << Console::ReadLine() << '\n';
However, that had an error (ReadLine outputs String^ not String, I don't know the difference) and I was hoping for something to compile.
With the above code I received the error:
two-phase name lookup is not supported for C++/CLI ... use /Zc:twoPhase-
The error recommends I use /Zc:twoPhase- which is a compiler option. So I enabled it and got the error:
Element has an invalid value of "Yes(/permissive-) /Zc:twoPhase-"
I'm not quite sure how to proceed from here.
Apologies I'm a beginner and I dove way over my head. Any help would be appreciated!
Note: I included thread, I know this code doesn't use it, but I plan on using it later.
Judging by the "Element has an invalid value of "Yes(/permissive-) /Zc:twoPhase-"" you've put this compiler option where it does not belong. Make sure you know where it should go. E.g. Why do I have warning "C4199 two-phase name lookup is not supported for C++/CLI, C++/CX, or openmp"?
There is no solution. I got an "cannot open file 'MSCOREE.lib'" error. It appears that file no longer exists in Windows and I didn't know how to get ahold of it. So I used the Visual Studio Windows Form App.
Edit: eXCore's comment about the .NET framework solved it.

What does ^ mean in C++?

So I've just stumbled over this function in the WinApi
public:
static array<Process^>^ GetProcessesByName(
String^ processName
)
What do the ^ stand for? Seems odd never seen this before.
This is C++/CLI, and ^ is for references (which are allocated with gcnew). References are garbage collected.
.NET Programming in Visual C++
In this specific example, the function takes a reference to a string, and returns a reference to an array of references to Process. For anything that is a reference type, you must use ^ (in other words, you can't have a non-reference variable of that type).
As pointed out in a comment, this may instead be C++/CX, but the syntax is mostly the same, but uses ref new instead of gcnew.
Visual C++ Language Reference (C++/CX)
As already answered, in your example ^ stands for Microsoft's C++/CLI garbage controlled pointers.
However, in standard C++ ^ is the bitwise exclusive OR operator^.
operator^compares each bit of its first operand to the corresponding bit of its second operand. If one bit is 0 and the other bit is 1, the corresponding result bit is set to 1. Otherwise, the corresponding result bit is set to 0.
#include <iostream>
int main() {
int a = 0x5555;
int b = 0xFFFF;
std::cout << std::hex << ( a ^ b ) << std::endl;
}

Non-static data member error with clang but not g++

Summary:
I have a code snippet that compiles fine with g++ but not with clang.
Details:
I have a project that compiles fine with g++ but when compiling with clang I get an error about error: use of non-static data member. I tried to create a small test case that would demonstrate the problem, but for the small test case g++ gave the same error as clang.
I've posted a 236 line file to pastebin that demonstrates the problem:
http://pastebin.com/DGnfxmYe
When compiled with g++ 4.6.3 this works fine. But when compiled with clang 3.2 I get the following error messages:
myhashmap.hpp:169:29: error: use of non-static data member 'num_bins' of 'MyHashMap' from nested type 'iterator'
for (_index++; (_index < num_bins) && (bins[_index] == NULL); _index++)
^~~~~~~~
myhashmap.hpp:169:43: error: use of non-static data member 'bins' of 'MyHashMap' from nested type 'iterator'
for (_index++; (_index < num_bins) && (bins[_index] == NULL); _index++)
^~~~
myhashmap.hpp:171:17: error: use of non-static data member 'num_bins' of 'MyHashMap' from nested type 'iterator'

^~~~~~~~
myhashmap.hpp:172:17: error: use of non-static data member 'bins' of 'MyHashMap' from nested type 'iterator'
_theNode = bins[_index];
^~~~
Looking at the code, it makes sense to me why clang is giving these error messages. What I don't understand is why g++ compiled the code correctly in the first place. I did not write this code but I would like to get it to compile cleanly with clang. So I'm trying to understand exactly what it is doing. And I would be interested in understanding why it compiles with g++ but not with clang. Does g++ interpret the c++ standard differently, or is there some g++ extension that the code is taking advantage of?
It fails with GCC 4.8 (prerelease) so I assume it's a bug that's been fixed. I can't find a corresponding bug report though.
To fix the code I think you'll need add an int _num_bins member to the iterator and pass the cotnainer's num_bins to the iterator constructor in begin() and end(), so it's stored in each iterator object.
(Additionally, don't write (void) for a function taking no arguments, that's an abomination. In C++ a function taking no arguments is written ())
