The other day I was getting an error like: /tmp/ccchKJVU.o: In function `__static_initialization_and_destruction_0(int, int)': foo.cpp:(.text+0x7c): undefined reference to `std::ios_base::Init::Init()' foo.cpp:(.text+0x91): undefined reference to `std::ios_base::Init::~Init()' collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
Yes, that's the sort of character-building that I was referring to (that a beginner needs to learn!) They have to learn that if it "breaks", then there must be a simpler way to break it! Hopefully one which will satisfy Log_2 (n). : )
