Visual C++ and friend functions giving errors
I'm having a problem with a friend fucntion that overloads operator << to print my class. This is pretty simple and I've modeled my function after the Dietel book. My other functions work.
My class:
class DynamicArray{
friend ostream& operator<<(ostream&,const DynamicArray& );
public:
~DynamicArray();
DynamicArray(int size = 1, int value = 0);
DynamicArray (int array [], int size = 1);
DynamicArray (const DynamicArray &);
DynamicArray& operator=(const DynamicArray &);
int& operator [] (int index);
int GetFront (void) const;
int GetBack (void) const;
void InsertAtIndex (int value, int index); (other functions)
private:
int size;
int capacity;
int * ptr;
};
And then I wrote this to print my class. Linux doesn't give me any problems but this pukes with Visual C++.
ostream & operator<<( ostream& output, const DynamicArray& rhs)
{
//test for empty array
if(rhs.size == 0)
{
output << "DynamicArray is empty" << endl;
return output;
}
//otherwise print out the array as "output"
for(int i = 0; i < rhs.size; i++)
{
output << rhs.ptr[i] << ",";
}
output << endl;
return output;
}
Can anyone spot what the problem is?
Thanks,
Robert
