Hello,
I faced some compilation errors with a small test case. I sort of
accidentally hit it.
and since then I am trying to analyse the cause with no use. Please
look at the code
below:
File - test.h
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
class test {
public :
test() { };
void func1(string str1, bool i = false, int id = -1);
//overload func1
void func1(string str1, string str2, bool i = false);
};
File - test.cc
#include "test.h"
void test::func1(string str1, bool i, int id ) {
}
void test::func1(string str1, string str2, bool i ) {
}
int main() {
test *t = new test();
t->func1("hello", "world", false); // call func1
}
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
E:\test\g++ test.cc
test.cc: In function `int main()':
test.cc:11: error: call of overloaded `func1(const char[6], const
char[6], bool)' is ambiguous
test.cc:3: note: candidates are: void test::func1(std::string, bool, int)
test.cc:6: note: void test::func1(std::string, std::string, bool)
Why is this not compiling ? Can somebody explain what is going on here ?
Why is it not directly going to overloaded func1 () - declared second. ?
Explanation is greatly welcome ( I would be much more relieved than
hoping and searching in bugzilla)
Obviously removing the third parameter of type int from
void func1(string str1, bool i = false, int id = -1) succeeds in compiling.
