Thread: Template and Inheritance

Hi everyone
I have major problems with my code and need help with the way I am writing my template inheritance class for LinkList (base class) and Stack (inheriting LinkList) and Queue(inheriting LinkList) I am getting a complier error in both Stack class and Queue class that I don't what it means
What does this error mean ?
" ambiguous call to overloaded function while compiling class-template member function"
This error is on the constructor of the Queue class (same error for Stack too )

Any one has references for template inheritance ? I am lost in the syntax codes.

-thanks

Somewhere your compiler can't resolve which function to call. This will happen if you have two methods like this:

int func(int a, int b = 0);
int func(int c);

if you where to call func(5) for example, you will get this error.

c++ has complicated rules for resolving overloaded functions
such as

void f(int n);
void f(double n);

f(4);
f(4f);

here is the code:::

class List
{
protected:
struct LinkListElement{
int key;
int payLoad;
LinkListElement *p;
};
int length;
LinkListElement *head;

public:
//Constructor
List(int size = 20)
{
head = new LinkListElement;
length = size > 0 ? size: 20;
head->key = 0;
head-> payLoad = NULL;
head->next;
}
//Destructor
~List();
// some other pop and push stuff

----------- Definition for Stack----------
class Stack : private List
{
private:
int top;

public:
Stack() { } // apparantly this is a problem, because when i try to
// instantiate the object of class Stack, I get errors

~Stack();
// some other junk here
};
