C++ compile error: has initializer but incomplete type
I am coding in Eclipse and have something like the following:
#include <ftream>
#include <iostream>
void read_file(){
char buffer[1025];
std::istringstream iss(buffer);
}
However, when I try to build, I get the following error: variable 'std::istringstream iss' has initializer but incomplete type
Any quick thoughts? I have googled around and it seems like most people with this problem simply did not include the right header files which I believe I am doing correctly.
std::istringstring? It's in the <sstream> header anyway, though.
whoops, i typed the question wrong, i have it coded the way you wrote so the problem is still the same
yep, adding made it build correctly, thanks!
Hard to see what the justification is for reopening. I'll skip and let others make the decision, but it appears to be a simple error.
Also, I believe the first line should be
#include<fstream> instead of #include <ftream> @Aneem

You need this include:
#include <sstream>

` Please include either of these:
`#include<sstream>`
using std::istringstream;

sstreamheader must be included to usestd::istringstream. en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/io/basic_istringstreamgccerror message, which is not helping the programmer to abide by the standard.
