Question

I have a simple method:

std::vector<string> start()
{
    std::vector<std::string> deletedFiles; // << error appeared at this declaration
}

Error: Unable to create variable object

What is wrong here?

Thanks in advance.

This similar program compiles without a hitch:

#include <vector>
#include <string>

std::vector<std::string> start()
{
    std::vector<std::string> deletedFiles;
    return deletedFiles;
}

int main()
{
    std::vector<std::string> deletedFiles = start();
    return 0;
}

Please double check your #includes and your std::s. You might want to add std:: to string in your return type.
