Alright I have a problem in C++. I'm trying to do some stuff with references to input streams and I end up with errors which I don't get (and which are almost certainly very simple, but google didn't help).
I have a header file which when all of the unimportant stuff is dropped out (the includes and comments and functions which I haven't implemented yet) is essentially this.
[CODE]class WordStream {
public:
private:
std::ifstream& inFile;
public:
WordStream(std::ifstream& fileStream);
};[/CODE]
And the constructor in my .cpp file is as follows.
[CODE]WordStream::WordStream(std::ifstream& fileStream)
{
inFile = fileStream;
}[/CODE]
When I try and compile I get the error "error C2758: 'WordStream::inFile' : must be initialized in constructor base/member initializer list".
I'm assuming its a problem with what I've done with references here but to be honest I'm pretty well stuck and can't figure out what it is I've stuffed up. :(
Cheers for any help you guys can give.
