GCC-4.7 Compilation error

S

When I add the last line from this snippet to my program code:

typedef std::set<Job> JobSet;
typedef boost::shared_ptr<JobSet> JobSetPtr;
JobSetPtr jobs_;

jobs_->insert ( job );  // line 60

I get this error:

Is it my fault? If yes, what I did wrong? If no, does somebody have the same error?

how do you define job? – Onieonion 14/4, 2012 at 17:10

I'm not sure, but Job might need an operator< overload. – Hustings 14/4, 2012 at 17:14

It seems you've not provided a definition of < operator to compare two objects of type Job.

When you insert an object into std::set, the container needs to know the position where it should insert the item, for which it needs to compare the object-to-be-inserted with the items already present in the set. To do that, it uses < operator which I guess you've not provided. std::set<Job> simply doesn't know how to compare two objects of type Job.

So you could provide operator< for Job class.

Or, alternatively, define this functor to compare Job objects:

struct JobComparer
{
    bool operator()(Job const &j1, Job const &j2)
    {
        //compare j1 and j2 and return true or false
    }
};

then use it as:

typedef std::set<Job, JobComparer> JobSet;

Or, you could specialize std::less as explained here.

Man, GCC error logs are super-unhelpful sometimes. Thanks for the explanation. – Frontage 6/12, 2015 at 0:42

Nawaz provided a simple answer, but I think it deserves a more complete one.

A set of objects, in C++, is an ordered container with no duplicates. To be able to order objects it uses a second template parameter other than the object itself: a functor whose job is to compare two objects. It also uses a 3rd parameter for memory allocation, useless here.

When you use a set you provide two parameters:

struct NameComparator {
    template <typename T>
    bool operator()(T const& left, T const& right) {
        return left.name() < right.name();
    }
};

std::set<Job, NameComparator> JobSet;

The comparator provided should define some notion of order. Basically, think of how < work for two integers:

it is irreflexive: x < x never holds
it is antisymmetric: if x < y then y < x is false
it is transitive: if x < y and y < z then x < z

Since this is such a common relationship, such a functor exists in the standard library: template <typename T> struct std::less;, which works for any type T for with given two instances you can use the operator <.

And as it is, the second parameter of set, which you did not explicitly indicated, defaults to std::less<TypeOfObjectInSet>. Which means it just works out of the box when provided with objects for which < is defined.

Therefore, you have 3 solutions.

If your objects admits a "natural" order relation, then you can either define operator< or specialize std::less. Otherwise, if you just need some order relationship for this set then you can provide your own comparator.

Note that if order is not required, then you can use an unordered_set. It requires hashing and an equality relationship.
