Subject: link problems when inheriting from libpq++
Date: Thu, 17 Feb 2000 12:21:47 -0000
Message-ID: <000801bf7941$8f9a1c20$2d96a8c0@dylan.owl.co.uk> (raw)
I have recently used the libpq++.a library as it stands to carry out SELECT
and INSERT command with few problems.
Its a pleasure to use, my compliments to you all. However...
I would now like to inherit the PgCursor class into one of my own classes.
Seems easy enough, but I have come up against a problem with the linker.
If I try to compile the code below with a simple makefile, the linker
(collect2) complains it cannot find the constructor for PgCursor. This is
true if I try to inherit from any of the classes in the libpq++.a library.
The linker output is shown below.
What am I doing wrong? If I comment out the declaration of 'newPgCursor
causesLinkErrors', then the code builds and works perfectly!
Are there link options I need to consider if I want to inherit from the
library?
I have tried building my own libraries and inheriting from them, using a
similar make file, but they work fine.
This has kept me going round in circles for a good few days now.
I would REALLY appreciate some suggestions, I seem to be getting nowhere!
Regards,
Chris Holman
