Hello,

I'm using "g++ (GCC) 4.1.1 20070105 (Red Hat 4.1.1-51)".

I'm trying to use the open() function as defined by the header
fcntl.h, but I'm getting this error:
"
mylibrary.cpp:16: error: no matching function for call to
'mylibrary::open(const char*, int)'
mylibrary.cpp:14: note: candidates are: int mylibrary::open()
"

mylibrary.h:
class mylibrary
{
private:
int fd;
..
public:
int open(void);
..

};

mylibrary.cpp:
#include <fcntl.h>
#include "mylibrary.h"
int mylibrary::open(void)
{
fd = open("/dev/ttyS0", O_RDWR | O_NOCTTY | O_NONBLOCK);
..
return 0;

}

How to tell the compiler to use the open() from fcntl.h, please?

TIA,
Vinicius.

any reason as to why you are having the same name open() for your
custom member function of the class?

fd = ::open(...);
