no matching function call

[hectic]

i have three file header file where i define the function prototype and the other implementaion file for the function body and other one is the test file which takes input for the implementation file
i have a function

getline(cin,srch,'\n');
getline(cin,status,'\n');

void search_s(srch,status);
srch and status are both input using the getline and srch is string and status is bool
so i got the compilation error stating
no matching function for call to `getline(std::istream&, bool&, char)'

so what is possible reason for it ,,
i have the header file - fucntion prototype define as
void search_s(std::string, bool& status)
but the function void search_f(srch) works well

Interesting, can we see the code around where the error occurs?

You can't use a bool with getline. It only works for char.
