Error when using overloaded output to stream operator <<
I wrote the function overload to display text in textEdit as in a stream, but I can’t understated how to use it now. Since functions is compiled but not compiled when used it.
//*.h
class MainWin : public QWidget
{
Q_OBJECT
public:
explicit MainWin(QWidget *parent = nullptr);
~MainWin();
friend MainWin *operator<<(MainWin *out,const QString &str);
private:
void showInConsole(const QString &str);
Ui::MainWin *ui;
};
//*.cpp
MainWin *operator<<(MainWin *out,const QString &str)
{
out.showInConsole(str);
return out;
}
Compilation function is successful.
But when trying to write and use an next code:
//main.cpp
MainWin *mW = new MainWin;
mW << "Some text";//<< QString("Some text") the same
It gives me the error:
CurrentSession.cpp:45: error: invalid operands of types 'MainWin*' and
'const char [4]' to binary 'operator<<'
mW << "str";
^
