Babak Alipour resolved MADLIB-967.
----------------------------------
Resolution: Fixed
> Hello World Example Errors
> --------------------------
>
> Key: MADLIB-967
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MADLIB-967
> Project: Apache MADlib
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Documentation
> Reporter: Babak Alipour
>
> While trying to go through the quick start guide for developers (available
> here :
> https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/MADLIB/Quick+Start+Guide+for+Developers),
> I realized that in avg_var.cpp there are some lines that use 'this.member'.
> I think 'this' is a pointer and it should be used with '->'.
> So I tried to build MADlib from source with these files added, and it doesn't.
> It produces multiple compile-time errors:
> E.g. ' error: request for member ‘avg’ in ‘this’, which is of pointer type
> ...'
> Replacing every 'this.' with 'this->' takes care of those errors but there
> are still a few more errors in the given example.
> Line 53:
> double a = static_cast<double>(state.numRows) / normalizer;
> Produces an error, since 'state' is not defined in this scope. Since this
> function is overloading '+=', I think it's safe to say this was supposed to
> be the state of 'this', so I replaced it with 'this->' and that error went
> away.
> Lines 44 & 45:
> template <class OtherHandle>
> AvgVarTransitionState &operator+=(const double x){
> This was also producing compile errors. (failed to deduce OtherHandle
> template type) This takes a double and adds it to the state, so I don't see
> any uses for 'OtherHandle' in this context and I commented line 44.
> All said and done, MADlib now compiles, installs and works just fine.
