I have two classes, a base class, CBaseClass, and its derived class,
CDerivedClass.
I overload the insertion operator as
ostream& operator << ( ostream&, CBaseClass& );
Then I define an object as
CDerivedClass object;
I then have the line
std::cout << object;
When I compile and link this code (using gcc 3.3.3), I get the following
error message
undefined reference to `operator<<(std ::basic_ostream <char,
std::char_trait s<char> >&, CDerivedClass&) '
How can I get the compiler to use the overloaded insertion operator as I
defined it?

The code looks fine, aside from the nitpick that operator<< might take a
const CBaseClass& instead of a CBaseClass&. The error message makes me
think that there's something you didn't post that's causing the problem,
like a declaration of operator<<(std: :basic_ostream< char,
std::char_trait s<char> >&, CDerivedClass&) that lacks a definition. It
might be helpful if you post a complete example that causes g++ to emit the
same error message.

Shouldn't this be virtual if you want it to work for subclasses?

David,
You were right, I did have another declaration for the derived class
without a definition. Thanks.

Shouldn't this be virtual if you want it to work for subclasses?
It's not a member function, so it can't be made virtual. However, it could
delegate to a virtual member function (e.g. "virtual ostream&
Print(std::ostr eam&) const;") in CBaseClass if Charles wanted to invoke
functionality provided by subclasses.

Oooh, yeah. I'm a noob, please forgive. I forgot that if it's gonna be a
member function, the object of such and so a type has to be on the left
side. This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics | |

Hi
In the following code sample, I have:
- a Worker class, which could have a lot of methods and attributes. In
particular, it has a 'bar' attribute. This class can be modified as needed.
- a Base class (old-style) which defines a default class attribute 'bar'
too. I can't modify the source code of this class. Note that Workes does
not inherit from Base.
- a Derived class which must inherit from Base and is a wrapper around
Worker: it...

The derived class below passes a reference to an object in its own
class to its base calss constructor. The code compiles and will run
successfully as long as the base class constructor does not attempt to
access the object -- since m_object is not actually created and
initizialized until after the base constructor has been called.
Any thoughts on the practice below?

Essentially, it seems like I need something like a virtual static

something similar? The class that is the target of my inquiry is a
template class that interfaces to one of several derived classes
through a pointer to a base class. The...

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
