Error: reference to 'list' is ambiguous

Question

I created a list and want to check it's size, like this

 1.  list<State> list;  
 2.  list.push_back (state1);
 3.  list.push_back (state2);
 4.  list.push_back (state2);
 5.  int l = list.size();

Then I got those error:

"[Error] candidates are: std::list list" in line 1. "[Error] reference to 'list' is ambiguous " in line 5.

How can I fix it?

Answer 1

You are trying to name a variable of class list with the same name list . Give it some other name and it should be fine.
