Question

although this C++ compiler error has been reported many times, I did not find a solution to my problem. I have two files, Foo.hh:

class Serial
{
 public:
  Serial(int portNumber);
  ~Serial();
 private:
  int portNr;
};

and Foo.cc:

#include "Foo.hh"
Serial::Serial(inx portNumber)
{
  portNr = portNumber;
}
Serial::~Serial()
{
}

which I try to compile on Linux using

g++ -I. -c -o Foo.o Foo.cc

returning the error

Foo.cc:4:15: error: expected constructor, destructor, or type conversion before ‘(’ token

I do not see any special reason why this should give an error! Any ideas appreciated…

Answer 1

Misspelled int in the constructor.
