Anyone mind telling me? Won't compile - keeps throwing "ambiguous call to overloaded function" at me.

I even typecasted the shit out of everything and still nothing.

you tried casting it IN the function call too?

like

ceil((double)1234)

?

yea

This is not your problem is it?

or maybe this?

From what I understand (which admittedly is not that much) it's either a particularity of your compiler how it wants it, or you have somehow borked the ceil() function.

Yep, exact problem, it seems, but for whatever reason casting the variables in the function isn't helping.

i b0rked it i guess

thanks man

Make sure you are saving your file before you compile

10/8/2007 9:37:55 PM

At first I thought that was the problem, LOL.

I'm sure I made some other stupid mistake that's leading to this. At least I have part of it fixed

10/8/2007 9:50:50 PM

ceil((double)1234.0) try changing it to that?

you didn't forget the include file, did you?

10/9/2007 12:48:45 PM

what compiler are you using?

10/9/2007 1:00:41 PM

^^^ only fucks up w/ variables

^^ no

^ effing visual studio 2005. i'm sure that's the problem

Why don't you post a few lines of code that exhibit the problem? Be sure to show which headers you are including as well.

yeah, theres no way to tell whats wrong unless you put the code here.

10/10/2007 1:20:33 AM

eh, i switched compilers and it worked perfectly. i dunno.

i'll post the code later when i get back to what i was screwing with

this works fine for me with VS2K5, math.h and the following

int rc = 0;
int passme = 1;
rc = ceil((double)passme);
