Hello All, I was writing a program and ran across this error:

the linker is unable to find the function prototyped in the statement
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. double setTotalCost(); //function prototype
  2.  
have you spelt the name correctly? is it in another .cpp file?
also when you call it
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. cout<< " The Total Cost is: "<< "$" <<setTotalCost<<endl;
  2.  
you have missed the ()

Actually, the use of setTotalCost in the output line will likely just print the hex value of the address of the function. That's a logic error, not a coding error.

The other thing to check is that you didn't spell the word differently in two places - setTotalCost and SetTotalCost are two different function names.

Lastly, make sure you aren't compiling setTotalCost as a "C" function or placing it in a different namespace from your main(...)

Good luck with your assignment.

My doubt comes from trying to understand how thread return values work (I know, it's off topic here), and I'm wondering about the meaning of the "void **" parameter that pthread_join expects (I think this is topical, since it's a C question, but please correct me and apologies if I'm wrong). I suppose that it's this way to allow for "generic" pointer modification, but this implies dereferencing the "void **" pointer to get a "void *"...
