Problem with "undefined reference to 'vtable for myclass' "

jefazo92

Hi everyone,

I've been trying to link 2 files but I'm getting the error "undefined reference to 'vtable for myclass' ". One cpp contains my QMainWindow whereas my the other one contains my binary tree.
The idea is that using SIGNALS and SLOTS I can use the application window to store the values into my tree.
The application was running before but for some reason once I linked both headers and files, it stopped working.
I'm getting errors in the constructors and destructors of my trees.
I'm getting the error " Undefined reference to "vtable for Tree" ".
Any help in solving this issue would be appreciated. Thanks.

Try to clear the build generated files and rebuild your project.

So, i noticed you are using recursive calls to access the element of your tree, but where is the stop condition ?

Rerun qmake, that was my first inclination, but I saw a reference to this here:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3065154/undefined-reference-to-vtable

Might want to do a make clean as well. In case something else is stupid.

It didn't work. I also tried doing virtual ~Tree(); but I got "virtual Tree::~Tree' cannot be overloaded."
I also get with " 'virtual Tree::~Tree'. " and "declaration of " ~Tree " as non member".

Hi,

What version of Qt are you using ?
What compiler are you running ?

I just tried to build your tree class on macOS and got no problem.

Hi
Check if you have a cyclic includes.
like tree.h in mainwindow.h and mainwindow.h in tree.h
That gives such undefined linker errors.
