Question

EDIT 11/3/2011 9:37pm:

This is my error:

 error: no matching function for call to "charList_join(const char [1], CISP430_A5::linked_list<char>&)"

and this is my prototype:

template <typename Item>
string charList_join(const char* glue, linked_list<char> pieces);

and this is my function call:

charList_join("", usedChars)

where usedChars is a static linked_list<char> declared in the same scope where charList_join() is called.

EDIT 11/4/2011 8:45am: Ok, so here is my code with unnecessary functions removed:

^{_{[sehe: edited from pastebin to github]}}

• browse it online at github

• download it with git:

   git clone git://gist.github.com/1340832.git
  

I’m getting the error on line 57, column 68 of premute_append.cpp. I’ve included the makefile so you can attempt to build it if you want. I’m only getting one single error at this point, but I just don’t have any idea what it means.

If you try to compile the error will look like this:

[cisw320b_stu022@scc-bdiv-cis assn5]$ make
g++ -c main.cpp
g++ -c permute_append.cpp
permute_append.cpp: In member function âCISP430_A5::linked_list<std::basic_string<char> > CISP430_A5::permute_append::permute(CISP430_A5::linked_list<char>)â:
permute_append.cpp:57:68: error: no matching function for call to âcharList_join(const char [1], CISP430_A5::linked_list<char>&)â
make: *** [permute_append.o] Error 1

Any idea why I’m getting this error?

Answer 1

string charList_join(const char* glue, linked_list<char> pieces);

is actually

template< typename Item >
string charList_join(const char* glue, linked_list<char> pieces);

Since Item is not detected from any of the arguments, you should pass it explicitly:

charList_join<SomeItemType>( "", usedChars);

Or perhaps you just wanted instead:

template< typename Item >
string charList_join(const char* glue, linked_list<Item> pieces);
