one overload question

Hi,

I have this program, compiling is passed, but when i wanted to get the
executable file(g++ -o output input.o), it fails.

Who can lead me where the error is?

Thanks,
Hunter

try what Scott Mayers says.

Rational result = rat1 * rat2;

result.printRational();

return 0;

Why do you think this is an "overload question"? Anyway, it looks to me
as if your linker doesn't find the symbols of the standard library. Are
you sure you used g++ for linking, not gcc, and that you linked your
code using the same g++ version you compiled it with?

In fact, I don't know if this is really caused by overload.
I've been using g++ of mingw and never run into such a confusing problem.

I had this problem before, but didn't resolve yet.
Try this simple application and see if it compile / links too:

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
cout << "Hello world!\n" << endl;
return 0;
}

The linker error message reports things like endl, cout and the stream
operators (actually everything from the standard library that you're
using) being missing. There seems to be no connection to the fact that
you're overloading operator*.

My test.cpp is as exactly same as yours, it works.That's why the above
error is confusing me.

OK well start taking the obvious troubleshooting steps. Gradually cut out
code from the program that doesn't work, until you have a hello world
program. When it starts working again you know that the last thing you
removed was the problem.

Personally I don't think there is anything wrong with your code, I would
expect there is something wrong with the way you are compiling and linking
your program or something wrong with the way you have installed your
compiler.
