I have made a program using boost::variant that somehow isn't const correct.
error: passing ‘const CompareTitle’ as ‘this’ argument of ‘bool CompareTitle::operator()(const T1&, const T2&) [with T1 = TestSeizoen, T2 = TestSeizoen]’ discards qualifiers [-fpermissive]
same error for [T1=TestFilm, T2 = TestSeizoen] and so on.
This is the code:
#include <iostream>
#include <vector>
#include "boost/variant.hpp"
using namespace std;
class TestFilm{
private:
string titel_;
public:
TestFilm(const string& titel): titel_(titel){};
const string titel() const {return titel_;};
};
class TestSeizoen{
private:
string titel_;
public:
TestSeizoen(const string& titel): titel_(titel){};
const string titel() const {return titel_;};
};
struct CompareTitle: boost::static_visitor<bool>{
template <typename T1, typename T2>
bool operator() (const T1& t1 , const T2& t2){
return t1.titel() == t2.titel();
}
};
int main() {
typedef boost::variant<TestFilm,TestSeizoen> var;
vector <var> vec;
TestFilm film1("titel1");
vec.push_back(film1);
TestSeizoen seizoen1("titel2");
vec.push_back(seizoen1);
vector<var>::iterator it;
bool compare = boost::apply_visitor(CompareTitle(),*vec.begin(),*(vec.begin()+1));
return 0;
}
I tried to make operator() a const member function but this didn't solve the problem. Can anybody help? I can provide more information if needed. Thanks in advance.
I think you need to promise that operator() won't change the struct members, i.e.:
bool operator() (const T1& t1 , const T2& t2) const {
...
}
This compiles for me (with GCC 4.4.5).
