- Subject: "No matching function" -- not finding copy constructor
I'm upgrading to V4.0.0 and struggling with some code that's seriously
into templates. One puzzling error is this one:
keyed_obj.hh:159: error: no matching function for call to 'CxnIndex::CxnIndex(CxnIndex)'
Indeces.hh:150: note: candidates are: CxnIndex::CxnIndex(CxnIndex&)
Indeces.hh:145: note: ... and some more
It's not entirely clear to me why something very much like a copy
constructor is being invoked in the first place. But the bigger
puzzle is: why isn't the copy constructor being matched? I would have
thought that any call with a T argument should match a function or
method with an &T argument in its declaration...
