Hi,
I am having a class template which is used to convert from one type another.
I am having a problem when i use the copy constructor with same type.
code.
#include "stdio.h"
template <class T>
class SPtr
{
public:
// Default constructor
SPtr() : mSptr(NULL){}
// constructor to convert. takes a different type i.e. T2
template<class T2>
SPtr(T2& p){}
// copy constructor.
template<>
SPtr(const SPtr<T>& p) {}
private:
T* mSptr;
};
void main()
{
const SPtr<int> p1;
SPtr<int> p2(p1);
}
here the SPtr<int> p2(p1) gives me an "ambiguous call to overloaded
function" error.
but if i put a const in the template for SPtr(const T2&p), it reolves the
ambiguity,
template<class T2>
SPtr(const T2& p){} // this will correct the problem.
Could someone explain this behaviour?

This should just be:

(i.e., without "template <>" or "<T>").

Remove this line from your code: template<>
SPtr(const SPtr<T>& p) {} private: T* mSptr; };
int main() { const SPtr<int> p1; SPtr<int> p2(p1); return 0; }
here the SPtr<int> p2(p1) gives me an "ambiguous call to overloaded function" error. but if i put a const in the template for SPtr(const T2&p), it reolves the ambiguity, template<class T2> SPtr(const T2& p){} // this will correct the problem.

You must remove template<> before the copy constructor, see above. Yes, this is
C++
* ishekara: [top-posting]
Do not top-post. See the FAQ. Corrected. here is the revised post. is this C++??
With regard to the declaration of 'main', yes.
The following code compiles fine with GNU and Visual C++, spot
the significant difference:
#include <cstddef>
template <class T>
class SPtr
{
public:
// Default constructor
SPtr() : mSptr(NULL){}
// constructor to convert. takes a different type i.e. T2
template<class T2>
SPtr(T2& /*p*/){}
// copy constructor.
SPtr(const SPtr<T>& /*p*/) {}
private:
T* mSptr;
};
int main()
{
const SPtr<int> p1;
SPtr<int> p2(p1);
}

Hi all,
thanks for your reply
I removed the template<>, still it is giving ambiguous error for me. i am
using VC++ for compiling.
The ambiguity goes away by adding const in front of T2, as in
template<class T2>
SPtr(const T2& /*p*/){}
any idea why this const is required?

1. VC6 and VC.NET are known to have template issues. VC.NET 2K3 is
fairly good with regard to them.
2. Copy constructors should always use const references anyways, unless
there is an EXTREMELY good reason not to. This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics |

Hi,
My question is how to resolve in C# ambiguous overloaded operators?
Let say, I have two unrelated classes A and B, each one implements
overloaded operator + with the first parameter of type A, and the
second one of type B. Let say, these are not my classes and I know
nothing about the implementation. As system doesn't know what code
must be used for resolving the language construction a+b (where A a;
and B b;), it returns "The call...

Maybe somebody has been fighting with the problem that I do, currently.

this has been defined as follows:

I have a templated class with the following methods:
Vocab(const T& t);
Vocab(unsigned uid);
However, when T = unsigned, and I call Vocab(unsigned(0)) then the
compiler rightly complains about an ambiguous call to the overloaded
function.
How can I specify which method I want called in this case?
Thanks,

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.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
