    It wants you to tell him which string. You want the standard one:

    class xx
    {
      public:
        std::string*  name();
    };
    

    Now, I’m not sure why you would be returning a pointer to a string. That’s a segmentation fault waiting to happen, if you ask me. Two more viable options that seem reasonable to me:

    class xx
    {
        std::string _name;
      public:
        const std::string& name() const 
        { 
            return _name; // WARNING: only valid as long as 
                          // this instance of xx is valid
        }
    };
    

    or

    class xx
    {
      public:
        std::string name() const { return "hello world"; }
    };
