---Answered --> Make the operator functions const!
I am writing a template and keep getting the following error:
Error 1 error C2893: Failed to specialize function template 'unknown-type std::less::operator ()(_Ty1 &&,_Ty2 &&) const'
when trying to use the template with a class, even if the class has overloaded operators. Note that the template does work with primitives
____TEMPLATE_________
#include <vector>
#include <algorithm>
using namespace std;
template <class T>
class Set{
int elements;
vector <T> MySet;
public:
//error is due to this function
bool find(const T& value) const
{
return binary_search(MySet.begin(), MySet.end(), value);
}
_____CLASS_________
class CCustomer{
public:
int CustomerId;
string Name;
string Surname;
int Phone;
CCustomer(int ID, string Name, string Surname, int Phone)
{
this->CustomerId = ID;
this->Name = Name;
this->Surname = Surname;
this->Phone = Phone;
}
bool operator==(const CCustomer &RHS)
{
if (this->CustomerId == RHS.CustomerId)
{
return true;
}
return false;
}
bool operator<(const CCustomer &RHS)
{
if (this->CustomerId < RHS.CustomerId)
{
return true;
}
return false;
}
bool operator>(const CCustomer &RHS)
{
if (this->CustomerId > RHS.CustomerId)
{
return true;
}
return false;
}
};
_____MAIN_______
void main()
{
CCustomer TEST (1234, "abc", "def", 456);
Set <CCustomer> Myset;
Myset.find(Test);
}
