C++ identifier is undefined

Reducing to three lines (the other errors are analogous): While wall is defined, gallons is not. And where do you want to get gallons from anyway? The result is hidden deep inside another function. How do you want to get it out from there? Well, you need a return value: This way, you can use your function like this: Analogously for … Read more

Thread pooling in C++11

This is copied from my answer to another very similar post: Start with maximum number of threads the system can support:int num_threads = std::thread::hardware_concurrency(); For an efficient threadpool implementation, once threads are created according to num_threads, it’s better not to create new ones, or destroy old ones (by joining). There will be a performance penalty, an … Read more

Understanding “corrupted size vs. prev_size” glibc error

OK, so I’ve managed to overcome this issue. First of all – A practical cause to “corrupted size vs. prev_size” is quite simple – memory chunk control structure fields in the adjacent following chunk are being overwritten due to out-of-bounds access by the code. if you allocate x bytes for pointer p but wind up writing beyond x in regards to … Read more

The #include exists, but I get an error: identifier “cout” is undefined. Why?

You need to specify the std:: namespace: Alternatively, you can use a using directive: I should add that you should avoid these using directives in headers, since code including these will also have the symbols brought into the global namespace. Restrict using directives to small scopes, for example Here, the using directive only applies to the scope of foo().

Fatal error: iostream: No such file or directory in compiling C program using GCC

Neither <iostream> nor <iostream.h> are standard C header files. Your code is meant to be C++, where <iostream> is a valid header. Use a C++ compiler such as clang++ or g++ (and a .cpp file extension) for C++ code. Alternatively, this program uses mostly constructs that are available in C anyway. It’s easy enough to convert the entire program to compile using a C compiler. Simply remove #include … Read more
