overloading for typedef parameters
c++, overloading, typedef
Solution
there is no way to resolve this. A typedef is just another name for the same type. But you can only overload on different types. So in your case - the compiler sees to setField(char x).
Why do you need those 2 methods? Since sizeof(char) is 1 according to the standard, there's really no difference between those names.
Problem
Possible Duplicate: Overloading member methods with typedef aliases as parameters I have following method `void setField(char x);` and another overloaded methoed `void setField(int8_t x);` This get compiled on all platform other than `solaris`, on `solaris` `int8_t` is `typedef as char` Is there any way to resolve this issue, as I do not want to change the name of the `method` I get compiler error saying that `method already exists`
