Linker Error: For a defined method in C++

[nkrisraj]

Hi,

I defined a simple method, getRecsize() inside one of the classes,
Class RateRec as shown below.

class RateRec
{
public:
size_t getRecSize(void) const;
......

private:
......

};

size_t RateRec::getRecSize(void) const
{
return( periods->size );

}

In this calls, I recently added a new method also. After these,
chnages, Iam able to compile this class correctly. And Iam able to
generate the library, libRateInfo.a, for some of the classes, in which
RateRec is also one of the classes.

I have some other main program. When I trying to link libRateInfo.a to
my main program, Iam getting the linker error related to getRecSize()
function as shown below.

ld: 0711-317 ERROR: Undefined symbol: .RateDetailRec::getPeriodSize()
const

For me, this is a real crazy thing.
I was able to link this library before lot of times. That time, I
didn't get any linker error.

But now, Iam getting this linker error. Any hekp would be greatly
appreciated.

Sorry, the error message is as shown below:

comp.lang.c++ is down the hall, on the left, just past the water
cooler. Around here, C++ merely increments the value of C and yields
the previous unincremented value.

We must do something. This is something. Therefore, we must do this.

You want news:comp.lang.c++, not news:comp.lang.c
C++ and C are different languages

While your problems are no doubt C++, it seems to me that
common sense might give an answer. You say that this is a
problem related to the getRecSize function and give code/etc
for that function. The linker says the problem related to
a different function called getPeriodSize. Hmmm. Perhaps it
is telling you something? But anyway, followups should be
in comp.lang.c++.

This has nothing to do with the C language. For C++, go out the
door, turn left, go 32 paces and enter the group labelled C++ on
the right.
