I'm going crazy, pointer problem .??

[tonnot]

I have a * object created as new();
ascii_file * G_w_ascii_out = new ascii_file;

I have a function that receive a pointer to this ascii_file :
My call;
w_comm_parent->w_export(G_w_ascii_out);

I have the error :

error: no matching function for call to 'W_comm::w_export(W_inpout::W_ascii*& )'
candidate is: void W_comm::w_export(W_inpout::W_ascii* )

I don't understand whats happen. I have an identical call at other place, and that compiles right .

Aaaaahhhh!

Without showing the definition of type ascii_file nobody can understand either, but it seems to be a referencr to W_ascii, whatever that is.

Exactly, I have even a gut feeling that there is more parameters for "w_export" and the pointer is not a problem at all...

Can be the problem related to the next :
The class A create an instance of classB, doing forwarding
After I have inside ClassA the next function

my_classB->write(string file_out, this);   ( the my_classB declare is :   my_classB(string a_file,ClassA *class_a_parent )

my_classB->write(string file_out, this);   ( the my_classB declare is :   my_classB(string a_file,ClassA *class_a_parent )

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

( ClassA *class_a_parent is also using forwarding )

( Both clasess use forwarding to each other )

And inside write method I have

W_ascii * ascii = new W_ascii;   
  class_a_parent->a_method_of_class_A(ascii)

W_ascii * ascii = new W_ascii;   
  class_a_parent->a_method_of_class_A(ascii)

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

Ok, I think class_a_parent->a_method_of_class_A is the guilty of pass W_inpout::W_ascii*& insteadof W_inpout::W_ascii*
It happens with every object I create and want pass to the function, I have the same error *& expected *, &int, expected int ....
(somebody appends & ....)
What do you think ?

I think there is not enough info to help you. I will repeat what is already posted in this thread - show the actual code, with related types and methods definitions.
