Creating C++ template functions in Rational Rhapsody causes Microsoft Visual C++ compiler errors C2667 and C2668

Troubleshooting


Problem

Generated code causes compiler errors C2667 and C2668 when creating C++ template functions in IBM Rational Rhapsody.

Symptom

The full error message is as follows:

error C2667: 'MyFunction' : none of 2 overload have a best conversion
error C2668: 'MyFunction' : ambiguous call to overloaded function

Cause

This is a bug in pre C++ 03 compilers, such as Microsoft Visual Studio C++ 6 (98).

Review the Microsoft Support Article ID 240869: BUG: C2667 and C2668 on Partial Ordering of Function Templates for more details.

Resolving The Problem

The C++ code generated by Rational Rhapsody is valid and compiles with more recent Microsoft Visual Studio compilers (for example, Visual Studio 2008/2010/2012); therefore, it is recommended that you upgrade to one of these compilers.
