如何在C ++中修复“不匹配运算符+”？

Question

I am writing a class that overloads some basic operators. I have written other classes using the same concepts and syntax, and they work fine, but now I am getting an error regarding my operator+ function specifically for this class. When the '+' operator is not written in my client program everything compiles fine, but when I use the '+' operator to initialize the data of an object with the sum of the data in the first two objects the error is produced.

I have viewed the operator overloading FAQ, and some other similar questions on this website, but none have helped me. Namely because the error does not seem to arise on a different computer. I sent the code to my professor who was stumped as he could not reproduce the error that I am getting.

My code is in three separate files: mystring.h mystring.cpp and simpleclient.cpp. I will include the relevant code from each file as the rest of the code should irrelevant, but if you would like me to include the entire file I can do that.

mystring.h:

#include <iostream>
#include <cstring>
#ifndef MYSTRING_H
#define MYSTRING_H
namespace cs_mystring{
    class MyString {
        public:
            MyString(const char* = "");
            MyString(const MyString& right);
            ~MyString();
            MyString operator=(const MyString& right);
            friend MyString operator+(const MyString& left, const MyString& right);
            //OTHER FUNCTION DECLARATIONS
        private:
            char* data;
    };
}
#endif

mystring.cpp:

#include <iostream>
#include <cstring>
#include <cassert>
#include "mystring.h"

namespace cs_mystring{
    //DEFAULT CONSTRUCTOR
    MyString::MyString(const char* init){
        data = new char[strlen(init) + 1];
        strcpy(data, init);
    }
    //COPY CONSTRUCTOR
    MyString::MyString(const MyString& right){
        data = new char[strlen(right.data) + 1];
        strcpy(data, right.data);
    }
    //DESTRUCTOR
    MyString::~MyString(){
        delete[] data;
    }
    //TODO
    MyString operator+(const MyString& left, const MyString& right){
        MyString temp;

        const int bufferSize = sizeof(left.data) + sizeof(right.data) + 2;
        char buffer[bufferSize];
        strcpy(buffer, left.data);
        strcat(buffer, right.data);
        temp = MyString(buffer);

        return temp;
    }
    //ASSIGNMENT OPERATOR
    MyString MyString::operator=(const MyString& right){
        if(this != &right){
            delete[] data; //remove the value stored in the heap
            data = new char[strlen(right.data) + 1]; //allocate memory for the new value
            strcpy(data, right.data); //copy the right-hand value into the new memory
        }
        return *this; //return the left hand object with the new value in the pointed-to memory location
    }

    //OTHER FUNCTION IMPLEMENTATIONS

}

simpleclient.cpp:

#include "mystring.h"
#include <fstream>
#include <cctype>      // for toupper()
#include <string>     
#include <cassert>
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
using namespace cs_mystring;

int main(){

    //Simplest way to produce the error
    MyString a = MyString("Hello, ");
    MyString b = MyString("World!");
    MyString c = a + b;//Error is produced here
}

The idea here is that the data member for MyString c would contain "Hello, World!".

I compile and execute the program with the following commands:

$ cd ~/Directory/with/the/files
$ g++ mystring.h mystring.cpp simpleclient.cpp -o exec
$ ./exec

When the client program contains the errant code, I receive the following output from the terminal after the second command:

$ g++ mystring.cpp simpleclient.cpp -o exec

If you can explain what this error and the output means and how to fix it, that will solve my problem.

Answer 1

通过在.cpp文件的单独命令中编译.h文件来解决此问题。
