GCC-4.7 Compilation error
c++, compilation, gcc, gcc4.7
Solution
It seems you've not provided a definition of `<` operator to compare two objects of type `Job`.
When you insert an object into `std::set`, the container needs to know the position where it should insert the item, for which it needs to compare the object-to-be-inserted with the items already present in the set. To do that, it uses `<` operator which I guess you've not provided. `std::set<Job>` simply doesn't know how to compare two objects of type `Job`.
So you could provide `operator<` for `Job` class.
Or, alternatively, define this functor to compare `Job` objects:
struct JobComparer
{
bool operator()(Job const &j1, Job const &j2)
{
//compare j1 and j2 and return true or false
}
};
then use it as:
typedef std::set<Job, JobComparer> JobSet;
Or, you could specialize `std::less` as explained here.
You could see this topic:

Problem
When I add the last line from this snippet to my program code: ``` typedef std::set<Job> JobSet; typedef boost::shared_ptr<JobSet> JobSetPtr; JobSetPtr jobs_; jobs_->insert ( job ); // line 60 ``` I get this error: ``` g++-4.7 -o /home/kron/Software/Synchronizer/1.0/Main.o -c src/Main.cpp In file included from /usr/include/c++/4.7/string:50:0, from /usr/include/c++/4.7/bits/locale_classes.h:42,
