No matching function

[V1RuZ]

Hi

I’m getting compile errors in the following code:

void Driver::read_data()
   {
        ifstream infile("data", ios::in);
        string name, surname;
        
        while (infile >> surname) {
            infile >> name;
            Person temp(infile);
            temp.read_surname(infile);
            temp.read_name(infile);
            temp.read_phone(infile);
            temp.read_age(infile);
            temp.read_weight(infile);
   87     person_map[surname][name] = temp;
        }    
   }

The errors tell me that

87 driver.cpp instantiated from here
339 stl_map.h no matching function for call to `Person::Person()'

and then it gives me a bunch of candidates. Where am I apparently calling this function?

Here’s what my Person class looks like:

//Person class declaration
   class Person {
   public:
          std::istream& read_surname(std::istream&);
          std::istream& read_name(std::istream&);
          std::istream& read_phone(std::istream&);
          std::istream& read_age(std::istream&);
          std::istream& read_weight(std::istream&);
          std::string& read_phone(std::string&);
          int& read_age(int&);
          double& read_weight(double&);
          std::string get_name() const { return name; }
          std::string get_surname() const { return surname; }
          std::string get_phone() const { return phone; }
          int get_age() const { return age; }
          double get_weight() const { return weight; }
          Person(std::string&, std::string&, std::string&, int&, double&);
          Person(std::istream&);
   private:
           std::string surname;
           std::string name;
           std::string phone;
           int age;
           double weight;
       };    
   #endif

I’m running Dev C++ on Windows XP(Service Pack 2)

Here’s a short extraction from my compiler log:

Thanx guys

Isn'T it obvious?

ifstream infile("data", ios::in);
        string name, surname;
        
        while (infile >> surname) {
            infile >> name;
             Person temp(infile);

Person(std::istream&);

istream and ifstream are not the same.
So the compiler does not know a proper constructor.

Thanx again WolfPack!

Isn'T it IT?

huh? Isn't it what?
