No matching function for call to 'min(uint8_t&, int)' - c++

I'm attempting to compile some c++ i2cdevlib code with gcc and I'm receiving the error:
/usr/share/arduino/libraries/i2cdevlib/Arduino/MPU9150/MPU9150_9Axis_MotionApps41.h: In member function 'uint8_t MPU9150::dmpInitialize()':
/usr/share/arduino/libraries/i2cdevlib/Arduino/MPU9150/MPU9150_9Axis_MotionApps41.h:605:56: error: no matching function for call to 'min(uint8_t&, int)'
getFIFOBytes(fifoBuffer, min(fifoCount, 128)); // safeguard only 128 bytes
^
Why isn't there a min(uint8_t&, int) defined? Isn't this a standard math function?
Am I correct in assuming I'm missing an include or namespace declaration somewhere, and shouldn't define this function myself?

The parameters that you pass to std::min is different: one is uint8_t and the other is int.
The function type of std::min is as follows:
template< class T >
const T& min( const T& a, const T& b );
You need tell the compiler what's the type parameter of std::min.
So the solution is:
std::min<int>(fifoCount, 128);

Your error message says it all
error: no matching function for call to 'min(uint8_t&, int)'
The compiler fails to resolve to the correct specialization as the types of the parameter do not conform (match).
Either static upcast the uint8_t parameter fifoCount to int as in std::min(static_cast<int>(fifoCount), 128)
Or, explicitly specify the type to specialize upon std::min<int>(fifoCount, 128)

invalid use of non-static member function in qsort C++

here is my function in class SuffixArray:
int pstrcmp(const void *a, const void *b) {
return strcmp((const char *)*(char **)a, (const char *)*(char **)b);
}
I used this comparison function in qsort:
qsort(ap, len1+len2, sizeof(char *),pstrcmp);
which ap is a pointer array of suffix
When I compile it, there is an error:
invalid use of non-static member function
and I use notepad++ to compile it, it provide that
error: cannot convert 'SuffixArray::pstrcmp' from type 'int (SuffixArray::)(const void*, const void*)' to type 'int (*)(const void*, const void*)'
qsort(ap, len1+len2, sizeof(char *),pstrcmp);
is there anyone can help me?
In C++ you need to pass a free-standing function or a static member function (as opposed to a non-static member function) to qsort, because calling conventions of non-static member functions require an instance to be passed.
You have two solutions to this problem:
Move the declaration of pstrcmp out of the SuffixArray class, or
Declare pstrcmp static in the class.

Stack Template Arguments

Focus on the template arguments
I can create a stack (an adapter class template from standard library) object like this,
stack<int, vector<int>> myStack;
I know the second template argument means the underlying data structure of the stack. But why the following line doesn't give a compile time error?
stack<int, vector<string>> myStack;
Notice that I'm declaring a stack to contain elements of type int, but at the same time I'm declaring the underlying data structure to hold string elements.
Functionally, It works as if it was a stack of string elements.
What you are doing is undefined behaviour. Nevertheless, I am going to explain why it seems to work fine.
The container adapter std::stack<T, TContainer> contains several type symbols that are aliases for types that will be commonly used. There is a list here.
One that concerns us here is std::stack::value_type. It basically determines what type the methods std::stack::push and friends expect:
void push( const value_type& value );
We can also see how it is defined:
using value_type = typename TContainer::value_type
So, the type that is used in all actions is actually only based on the second type, TContainer ! In your case, that is vector<string>::value_type, so value_type will be an alias to string. The type used for T, int in your case, is not used.
Thus, everything seems to work.
But even though this works in your case with your particular compiler, it is actually not allowed:
The behavior is undefined if T is not the same type as Container::value_type. (since C++17)
You can find the source for this quote here.
From the documentation:
T - The type of the stored elements. The behavior is undefined if T is not the same type as Container::value_type. (since C++17)
Undefined behaviour means it might compile, it might even work, or it might wipe your hard drive.
How it fails, if it does, is implementation dependant.
If I had to guess, I would imagine that your implementation is discarding the int template argument, and just uses Container::value_type instead.
Once we get to C++17, this will be explicitly illegal. Some compilers will already not appreciate this code..
For example:
#include <stack>
#include <string>
#include <vector>
int main() {
std::stack<int, std::vector<std::string>> s;
s.push(3);
}
Fails to compile under OS X (clang, libc++, c++11) with:
blah.cc:7:7: error: no matching member function for call to 'push'
s.push(3);

Member function pointer issue with standard library methods

This question is spawned from
Passing a member function pointer to an overloaded class method into a template function.
You need not read that to understand this question. Probably both the questions will have the same answer.
I am getting compiler error for below simple code.
#include<set>
template<typename Return, typename T>
T ReceiveFuncPtr (Return (T::*Method)(const int&))
{
T obj; // Found and declared an object of actual container class
(obj.*Method)(1); // Some processing
return obj; // Returned that container class object with RVO
}
int main ()
{
ReceiveFuncPtr(&std::set<int>::insert); // ERROR
}
The error is interesting:
In function 'int main()':
error: no matching function for call to 'ReceiveFuncPtr(<unresolved overloaded function type>)'
ReceiveFuncPtr(&std::set<int>::insert); // ERROR
^
note: candidate is:
note: template<class Return, class T> T ReceiveFuncPtr(Return (T::*)(const int&))
T ReceiveFuncPtr (Return (T::*Method)(const int&))
^
note: template argument deduction/substitution failed:
note: mismatched types 'const int&' and 'std::initializer_list<int>'

note: mismatched types 'const int&' and 'std::set<int>::value_type&& {aka int&&}'
note: couldn't deduce template parameter 'Return'
If you look at the notes closely then it appears that compiler is matching all the other methods except the right one! In this case compiler should have matched insert(const std::set<int>::value_type&) aka const int&. If I change the ReceiveFuncPtr() to match some other overload, it will again fail by skipping that overload.
To debug this situation, I created handcrafted version of std::set. But that compiles fine:
template<typename T, typename T2 = void>
struct MySet
{
std::pair<T,bool> insert (const T& i) { return std::pair<T,bool>(T(),true); }
std::pair<T,bool> insert (T&& i) { return std::pair<T,bool>(T(),true); }
void insert (std::initializer_list<T> i) { return false; }
}
int main ()
{
ReceiveFuncPtr(&MySet<int>::insert); // OK
}
After surfing, I came across this post:
What are the rules for function pointers and member function pointers to Standard functions?
Though it's related , it doesn't solve problem.
Question: Why member function substitution fails in case of standard library method when the the same thing passes for handwritten class method?
Update:
After looking at the correct answer, I am sure that insert cannot be used. The only way would be ugly typecasting which is an overkill for this problem.
One elegant solution is to use std::set<int>::emplace<const int&> which has only templated version unlike insert which has mix of template and non-template versions.
Call the function as below:
ReceiveFuncPtr(&std::set<int>::emplace<const int&>);
Above compiles fine.
The problem isn't with the insert functions you showed in MySet. The problem is with one of the ones you omitted. Specifically:
template< class InputIt >
void insert( InputIt first, InputIt last );
From [temp.deduct.call]:
When P is a function type, pointer to function type, or pointer to member function type:
— If the argument is an overload set containing one or more function templates, the parameter is treated
as a non-deduced context.
Since &std::set<int>::insert is precisely such an overload set, the parameter is a non-deduced context and cannot be resolved. Your example of MySet does not contain a function template overload for insert, which is why it works fine. If you add one, you'll see that it will also fail to compile.

C++ templates no matching function call

I have a member function of a template class declared as such:
template <class T>
int Data<T>::getPosition(vector<T> stuff, T newStuff, bool ascending)
I call this somewhere with the line
frequencies.insert(frequencies.begin() + getPosition(frequencies, current, ascending),
frequencies[i]);
The variables for that line are declared as:
vector<T> temp;
vector<int> frequencies;
int current = frequency.find(words[i])->second;
However, the call to getPosition gives this error:
Data.h|158|error: no matching function for call to 'primitives::Data<double>::getPosition(std::vector<int, std::allocator<int> >&, int&, bool&)'|
Data.h|165|note: candidates are: int primitives::Data<T>::getPosition(std::vector<T, std::allocator<_CharT> >, T, bool) [with T = double]|
What am I doing wrong here?
getPosition takes three arguments of type vector<T>, T and bool. The templated type T in this case is double (as is shown in the error message), and yet you are trying to pass vector<int> and int as the first and second argument, respectively.
Perhaps the parameters for getPosition should not be templated? Depends on what you are trying to achieve - you do have hard-coded int-vectors there, after all.
Your function prototype gets templated on Data<t>, and it looks like you're performing this call on an object with type Data<double> and passing a std::vector<int> and an int, when it probably expects a std::vector<double> and a double to correspond to the initial templated type of the Data object.
vector<T> temp;
Shouldn't T here be some type like int, double or bool?
