hi
please solve my problem i am getting linking error in following program. i am using devc++ for copilation

If think you should upgrade your compiler, its passing back mangled names in its error message.

This, on line 81

bool search(int roll,Node **current,Node **previous)

Should be

bool list::search(int roll,Node **current,Node **previous)

There is no upgrade to that compiler -- it has been dead and buried for quite some time now.

I think using mangled names is common to all linkers -- all Microsoft compilers do that too. It's beyond the scope of a linker to know the unmangled name. The mangled name is actually more useful information because it tells you exactly which of all function overloads caused the problem.

than budyy...
my compiler is already upgraded ..
only problem was with syntex as you pointed out.
now its working fine

I run a current version of GCC and its linker passes back non-mangled names.

i am using devc++ code is running..
actually i am not able to install GCC could you let me know how cold i install GCC since info given on their site is not enough

I'll assume your running Windows.

Download Code::Blocks or QT Creator and you'll get a current version of GCC with either or you could try Window's Visual C++ express.
