[SOLVED] How to use the QVector container with a custom class?

How to use the QVector container with a custom class?

Here's a custom class I implemented for a personal project:

#include <QtCore/QCommandLineOption>
#include <QtCore/QSharedPointer>

#include <genepy/cli/CommandLineArgument.h>
#include <genepy/cli/CommandLineOption.h>

class QCommandLineParser;

namespace genepy {

class CommandLineParserBuilder;
class ConsoleApplication;

class GENEPY_EXPORT CommandLineParser {
public:
    static CommandLineParserBuilder create(const ConsoleApplication& application);

    void doParsing();

    template <typename T>
    T getArgumentValue(const QString& name) const;

    bool isOptionPresent(const QString& name) const;

    template <typename T>
    T getOptionValue(const QString& name) const;

private:
    friend class CommandLineParserBuilder;

    explicit CommandLineParser(const ConsoleApplication& application);

    const QSharedPointer<QCommandLineParser> parser_;

    const QCommandLineOption helpOption_;
    const QCommandLineOption versionOption_;

    QVector<CommandLineArgument> arguments_;

    QVector<CommandLineOption> options_;
};

} // namespace genepy

The complete code can be found here.

When I compile this code with Qt 5.15 on Windows (MinGW, MSVC), there's no problem. However, on Debian 9 with Qt 5.7, I get this error :

I've no clue on what's going wrong with this code... Can someone help me? Thank you very much for your help.

Solution

Finally, I changed QVector<CommandLineArgument> to QVector<QSharedPointer<CommandLineArgument>> since CommandLineArgument wasn't an assignable data type (it was missing a default constructor among others). Now, it works.
