Just stumbled onto this problem. (title says it all)
Let's say I have a struct
struct Foo {
void bar () {
do_baz(this);
}
void do_baz(Foo*& pFoo) {
pFoo->p_sub_foo = new Foo; // for example
}
Foo* p_sub_foo;
}
GCC tells me that
temp.cpp: In member function ‘void Foo::bar()’:
temp.cpp:3: error: no matching function for call to ‘Foo::do_baz(Foo* const)’
temp.cpp:5: note: candidates are: void Foo::do_baz(Foo*&)
So, how do I convert what is apparently a const Foo*
to a Foo*&
?
