[Openexr-user] operator <<

[Dharmendra Bhojwani]

Hi Thanks for the response...

But we get ambigous error sometime when operator doesn't know for particular type whether it should call the operator << function or not .

In this case iDataSize is a unsigned __int64 and compiler doesn't have the operator to work on this datatype and even i can't reinterpret_cast also on this because information will be lost.And even if i provide operator << for unsigned __int64 , it works fine in vc++ but not in g++ , can you please look into this problem ?

Thanks

you probably have more than one conversion possible on iDataType or iDataSize to a type ostream can accept. one way around it is to coerce the variables to a particular type so the compiler becomes un-confused. Hope this helps
