In my TimeCode.h I have following :
inline TimeCode::operator int() const;
Which should be able to execute whenever I cast TimeCode object to int.
But when I do something like :
(int) firstTimeCode > (int) scndTimeCode
The compiler throws the following error at me :
cast from 'TimeCode*' to 'int' loses precision [-fpermissive]
Does anyone know what is the problem and how it can be fixed ? Thank you very much in advance !

Look at the error message - it's telling you that you're converting TimeCode* to int - that is, at least one of your operands is a pointer to a TimeCode, not an actual TimeCode. So you need to dereference that pointer first to invoke your operator correctly.

Why is g++ giving an error like this?
blahblah.h:80:10: error: decomposition declaration not permitted in this context
float[NUM_OUTPUTS] output_buffer;
(Already solved, but creating this because there's no good google hits for this error text, and the error message is inscrutable.)
In C++ declarations, the array size goes after the variable name, not after the type:
float output_buffer[NUM_OUTPUTS];

function:
name: make_shape
return: Shape*
parameters: const string &shape_name; const vector &data
The class is ShapeFactory. This is what I have for this function definition:
ShapeFactory::Shape* make_shape(const string &shape_name, const vector<double>&data)
I get an error that says:
"ShapeFactory.cpp:17:15: error: ‘Shape’ in ‘class ShapeFactory’ does not name a type"
I know Shape* isn't a return type, but I don't know how to declare the pointer. Any suggestions?
You've written ShapeFactory::Shape* make_shape, which the compiler thinks is the implementation of a function in ShapeFactory called Shape*. You need to have the return type before this, and the bit after the :: is the function name. So, the correct code is:
Shape* ShapeFactory::make_shape(const string
&shape_name, const vector<double>&data)

i have a simple function, in which i need to divide two integers. But the casting does not work.
I can't understand what is wrong in my code:
double new=0.0;
if(N>0) new = double(Ns)/double(N);
The error-message at the place double new; is (error:expected unqualified-id) and at the place new=double(Ns)/double(N)
and at
new is a reserved keyword in C++. Pick another name for your variable:
double double_new=0.0;
if(N>0) double_new = double(Ns)/double(N);
new is a reserved keyword in C++. You cannot have objects named new.

I dont have much experience in cpp, let alone systemc.
Why doenst this work?
sc_in<sc_uint<8>> a,b;
adder.cpp:5: error: ‘a’ was not declared in this scope
adder.cpp:5: error: ‘b’ was not declared in this scope
adder.cpp:5: error: wrong number of template arguments (2, should be 1)
This does work:
sc_in<int> a,b;
In C++03, you can't have the two > characters next to each other because the compiler thinks you're trying to perform a right shift.
It then gets really confused, thinking you mean this:
sc_in<sc_uint<(8 >> a), b;
// ^ ^ ^
// ? | ? Compiler: "what are `a` and `b`?!"
// ! Compiler: "why two arguments?!"
If you had managed to get that far, it would later complain about the two missing > characters before ;, ironically taking you back to where you started.
You have to write sc_in<sc_uint<8> > instead.
That's fixed as of C++11.

I have a function
int Customer::myFunction(char * cPhoneNumber)
{
//Something here
}
And i am trying to call this function with a parameter like:
char cPhoneNumber[MAX_STRING_LENGTH]; //MAX_STRING_LENGTH = 256
memset(cPhoneNumber, 0, sizeof(cPhoneNumber));
//Some value assigned
myFunction(cPhoneNumber);
But i get this error here:
cannot convert parameter 1 from 'char [256]' to 'char'
Why am i unable to pass this, please help.
The error is telling you that the declaration of Customer::myFunction is actually:
Customer::myFunction(char cPhoneNumber); // note char, not char*
You showed us the definition, but not the declaration. Either that, or you didn't post your definition correctly.
