Question

I don’t know what’s wrong with it.. I can’t find where the error is, commenting out the implementation doesn’t resolve the error either.

Header File

Even if your project has a main() method, the linker sometimes gets confused. You can solve this issue in Visual Studio 2010 by going to

Project -> Properties -> Configuration Properties -> Linker -> System

and changing SubSystem to Console.
