Calling a method with this pointer from an inherited class becomes const

class A { }
class B : public A { 
    doSomething {
        C * c = new C(this);
    }
}
class C
{
    C(A* copy);
}

In the following example I get the following error:

error: no matching function for call to `C::C(B* const)'

I wan't to get the A pointer in the this call but for some reason I can't get this through. Probably some silly typo but as it's Rhapsody generated I don't really feel I have the control over why I get this issue when compiling.

Trying to add another headerfile. It wont compile as it's so many files that needs to be included but this is the actual code (changed class names) that is executed and the underlying classes is working.

I know this wont compile straight off but maybe it can gice some hints as to why it becomes errors.

error: no matching function for call to `F::F(A* const, A* const, A* const) note: candidates are: F::F(TestContextC*, D*, IOxfActive*)

The problems in the code you posted are:

1. You use C before you declare it.
2. B::doSomething is trying to call a private C constructor.
3. B::doSomething is not missing the return type and argument list.
4. You're missing semicolons to end the class.

But once you fix those and get this code:

class A { };
class C
{
public:
    C(A* copy);
};
class B : public A {
    void doSomething() {
        C * c = new C(this);
    }
};

it compiles cleanly.

With you code, I got the following errors.

:3: error: function definition does not declare parameters
:10: error: expected unqualified-id at end of input

You error must come from somewhere else in your code.

make sure the constructor of C is public, so that it can be accessed from B.
