I made the following minimal example for operator overloading in C++. I would like to print the vector as shown below.
#include <iostream>#include <vector>using namespace std;ostream& operator<< (ostream& out, const vector<int>& v) { for(size_t i = 0; i < v.size(); i++) { out << v[i] << ""; } return out;}int main(void){ vector<int> i = {1, 2}; cout << i << endl;}
However if I compile this with gcc as gcc test.cpp
using the following version.
$ gcc --versiongcc (Arch Linux 9.3.0-1) 9.3.0
I get error messages all over the place which seem to reduce to the following.
undefined reference to `std::ostream::operator<<(int)'
But for completeness sake here is the complete error message.
