macOS C++ problem under MAC. Please help!

[forfan]

I am not sure whether it is a MAC problem or not.
I am new to mac programming.

Recently I am trying to learn program with MTL4(http://www.osl.iu.edu/research/mtl/mtl4/doc/manual.php3).

Here is a sample program copied from MTL document. It is a very simple program which implements a complex vector and prints it out by using MTL.

// File: vector2.cpp
#include <complex>
#include <iostream>
#include <boost/numeric/mtl/mtl.hpp>

int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
    using namespace mtl;
    // Define dense vector of complex with 7 elements.
    dense_vector<std::complex<float>, vector::parameters<tag::row_major> >  v(7);

    // Set all elements to 3+2i
    v= std::complex<float>(3.0, 2.0);
    std::cout << "v is " << v << "\n";

    // Set all elements to 5+0i
    v= 5.0;
    std::cout << "v is " << v << "\n";

    v= 6;
    std::cout << "v is " << v << "\n";

    return 0;
}

I tried to compile it under terminal, and got the following error:

$ g++ -I/usr/Local/MTL4 -I/usr/local/boost_1_34_1 Vector2.cpp -o Vector2 -lm -O2
Vector2.cpp: In function ‘int main(int, char**)’:
Vector2.cpp:15: error: incompatible types in assignment of ‘std::complex<float>’ to ‘mtl::vector::dense_vector<std::complex<float>, mtl::vector:arameters<mtl::tag::row_major, mtl::vector::non_fixed::dimension, false, false> > [7]’
Vector2.cpp:19: error: incompatible types in assignment of ‘double’ to ‘mtl::vector::dense_vector<std::complex<float>, mtl::vector:arameters<mtl::tag::row_major, mtl::vector::non_fixed::dimension, false, false> > [7]’
Vector2.cpp:22: error: incompatible types in assignment of ‘int’ to ‘mtl::vector::dense_vector<std::complex<float>, mtl::vector:arameters<mtl::tag::row_major, mtl::vector::non_fixed::dimension, false, false> > [7]’

why the compiler can't do a auto conversion for me?

My OS is Leopard,
g++ version:
i686-apple-darwin9-g++-4.0.1 (GCC) 4.0.1 (Apple Inc. build 5465)

any advise?

thx in advance.

thx in advance.

Man back in the day when i programmed, int main passed no arguments.
It actually looks like you're assigning values incorrectly. As all your errors are on assignment lines.

It also helps to try and describe what the code is trying to do.

Sorry, it is not the right place to post my question

I have tested the program under my linux box, and got same error messages.

It is not a Mac programming problem, but I still need help.
Can anybody help for that?

Thank you for the replies

the program uses MTL to construct a complex vector with size 7.

v = n means assigning n to every element of vector.

I know it is an assignment error.

The problem is why it fails. I thank MTL vector class should have a good assignment implementation.

maybe there is something wrong with my compile command.

I have totally no idea with the error.

I don't think you need the extra > when you create your dense vector. It has no opening < which means it's probably treating it as a conditional statement.

 

[forfan]

this line?
dense_vector<std::complex<float>, vector:arameters<tag::row_major> > v(7);

there are 3 "<" and three ">", one for dense_vector, one for complex and one for vector:arameters.
I don't think it is a problem.

I tried to remove the last > and got a "lose > " error.

problem solved

I made a stupid spelling error in code input:
dense_vector<std::complex<float>, vector:arameters<tag::row_major> > v(7);
I input the code "v[7]" but not "v(7)".

Very stupid.

Sorry for that.
