无法在计算机上构建RAPIDXML库-错误消息

Question

I am working on a c++ project where I would like to use the rapidxml library. The library can be found here: http://rapidxml.sourceforge.net/ I downloaded this (4 source code files .hpp) and was able to compile the project on my windows machine with the CodeBlocks IDE.

However, when I attempted to build this on the linux machine at school, it showed the following error messages and would not compile successfully

I am not sure what the problem is and how I can avoid these errors/warnings.

Answer 1

You're using GCC with strict options which turn certain (or maybe all) warning messages into errors.

Example - here's the errors:-

rapidxml.hpp: In constructor 'rapidxml::parse_error::parse_error(const char*, void*)':
rapidxml.hpp:78:13: error: declaration of 'where' shadows a member of 'this'
[-Werror=shadow]
rapidxml.hpp:78:13: error: declaration of 'what' shadows a member of 'this'
[-Werror=shadow]

... and here's the code

class parse_error: public std::exception
{
public:
    //! Constructs parse error
    parse_error(const char *what, void *where)
        : m_what(what)
        , m_where(where)
    {
    }

The 'problem' is that GCC thinks the code might be wrong because what and where are used as names of parameters in the constructor - but they're also defined as member functions of the base class. ( std::exception ).

This is perfectly valid C++ and will work just fine. GCC is just configured to be ultra-picky. You'll need to add the option -Wno-error=shadow to stop these warnings being treated as errors.
