I'm working on a makefile to build the oo api examples. Everything is fine, except for 05.user_metadata.cpp
Executing this: c++ -c -Wall -g3 -std=c++11 -fno-rtti -I/opt/firebird/include/ \ 05.user_metadata.cpp -o 05.user_metadata.o produces this error: 05.user_metadata.cpp: In function ‘int main()’: 05.user_metadata.cpp:212:14: error: invalid new-expression of abstract class type ‘MyMetadata’ meta = new MyMetadata; ^~~~~~~~~~ 05.user_metadata.cpp:46:7: note: because the following virtual functions are pure within ‘MyMetadata’: class MyMetadata : public IMessageMetadataImpl<MyMetadata, ThrowStatusWrapper> ^~~~~~~~~~ In file included from /opt/firebird/include/firebird/Interface.h:42:0, from ifaceExamples.h:39, from 05.user_metadata.cpp:33: /opt/firebird/include/firebird/IdlFbInterfaces.h:8875:20: note: unsigned int Firebird::IMessageMetadataImpl<Name, StatusType, Base>::getAlignment(StatusType*) [with Name = MyMetadata; StatusType = Base>Firebird::ThrowStatusWrapper; Base = Base>Firebird::IReferenceCountedImpl<MyMetadata, Base>Firebird::ThrowStatusWrapper, Base>Firebird::Inherit<Firebird::IVersionedImpl<MyMetadata, Base>Firebird::ThrowStatusWrapper, Base>Firebird::Inherit<Firebird::IMessageMetadata> > > >] virtual unsigned Base>getAlignment(StatusType* status) = 0; ^~~~~~~~~~~~ /opt/firebird/include/firebird/IdlFbInterfaces.h:8876:20: note: unsigned int Firebird::IMessageMetadataImpl<Name, StatusType, Base>::getAlignedLength(StatusType*) [with Name = MyMetadata; StatusType = Base>Firebird::ThrowStatusWrapper; Base = Base>Firebird::IReferenceCountedImpl<MyMetadata, Base>Firebird::ThrowStatusWrapper, Base>Firebird::Inherit<Firebird::IVersionedImpl<MyMetadata, Base>Firebird::ThrowStatusWrapper, Base>Firebird::Inherit<Firebird::IMessageMetadata> > > >] virtual unsigned Base>getAlignedLength(StatusType* status) = 0; ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Is this an error in the code or in my makefile?
