Question

So I have a problem….

I’ve a method
void MainWindow::loadItems(const ArticleStore& store)
{
}

that I try to call like this inside the MainWindow class
ArticleStore store();
loadItems(store)

And I get this error
mainwindow.cpp:15: error: no matching function for call to ‘MainWindow::loadItems(ArticleStore (&)())’
mainwindow.h:19: note: candidates are: void MainWindow::loadItems(const ArticleStore&)

ArticleStore definition:
class ArticleStore
{
public:
ArticleStore();
};

So the question is what went wrong?

Answer 1

It’s because

ArticleStore store();

is interpreted by the compiler as a function declaration.
That’s explain why compiler is looking for ‘MainWindow::loadItems(ArticleStore (&)())’
You must write instead:

Article store; // With no parenthesis
