Hi, I am trying to use lexical_cast to convert from strings to qvm vectors, but I keep getting an ambiguous operator>> error. I have overloaded the >> operator for istreams and that seems to be working fine when I use it to read from a istringstream. In a lexical_cast, though, I get the "ambiguous overload for operator>>" error. I have tried declaring my operator>> overload inside the std and boost::qvm namespaces to check if it was something related to ADL, but I keep getting the same error. The thing is the other candidates do not seem to make a lot of sense to me. Could somebody please tell me what I am doing wrong? Thanks in advance, Enrique Garcia This is a minimal example (I am building gcc/boost from the last versions on their repositories): #include <iostream> #include #include std::ostream& operator<<(std::ostream& out, boost::qvm::vec const& v) { out << "(" << v.a[0] << "," << v.a[1] << "," << v.a[2] << ")"; } std::istream& operator>>(std::istream& in, boost::qvm::vec& v) { char c; return in >> c >> v.a[0] >> c >> v.a[1] >> c >> v.a[2] >> c; } int main() { boost::qvm::vec vect { 1.0f, 2.0f, 3.0f }; std::cout << vect << std::endl; // This code works just fine. (4.0,5.0,6.0) is printed std::istringstream istream("(4.0,5.0,6.0"); istream >> vect; std::cout << vect << std::endl; // This code generates an ambiguous overload for operator>> error (see below) vect = boost::lexical_cast>("(1.0,2.0,3.0)"); std::cout << vect << std::endl; return 0; } This is the error I am getting from gcc: In file included from /usr/local/include/boost/config.hpp:61:0, from /usr/local/include/boost/static_assert.hpp:17, from /usr/local/include/boost/qvm/static_assert.hpp:7, from /usr/local/include/boost/qvm/vec.hpp:11, from /home/kique/Documents/Bitflow2x/source/main.cpp:57: /usr/local/include/boost/type_traits/detail/has_binary_operator.hpp: In instantiation of 'const bool boost::detail::has_right_shift_impl::operator_exists >::value': /usr/local/include/boost/type_traits/detail/has_binary_operator.hpp:179:4: required from 'const bool boost::detail::has_right_shift_impl::trait_impl1, boost::detail::has_right_shift_impl::dont_care, false>::value' /usr/local/include/boost/type_traits/detail/has_binary_operator.hpp:208:4: required from 'const bool boost::detail::has_right_shift_impl::trait_impl, boost::detail::has_right_shift_impl::dont_care>::value' /usr/local/include/boost/type_traits/detail/has_binary_operator.hpp:216:8: required from 'struct boost::has_right_shift, boost::detail::has_right_shift_impl::dont_care>' /usr/local/include/boost/lexical_cast/detail/converter_lexical.hpp:241:21: required from 'struct boost::detail::deduce_target_char_impl > >' /usr/local/include/boost/lexical_cast/detail/converter_lexical.hpp:270:89: required from 'struct boost::detail::deduce_target_char >' /usr/local/include/boost/lexical_cast/detail/converter_lexical.hpp:407:92: required from 'struct boost::detail::lexical_cast_stream_traits >' /usr/local/include/boost/lexical_cast/detail/converter_lexical.hpp:468:15: required from 'struct boost::detail::lexical_converter_impl, const char*>' /usr/local/include/boost/lexical_cast/try_lexical_convert.hpp:196:44: required from 'bool boost::conversion::detail::try_lexical_convert(const Source&, Target&) [with Target = boost::qvm::vec;
