Function takes a ref to a string but not a string literal from the call

[kaptsea]

Hello there folks!

I have a problem with some code. My function would be like:

void function(const std::string& string1){
//do something here
}

The thing is that I cannot call the function like

function("SomeTextHere");

but If I declare a string above that line and use that in the function it just works. Is this because of the declaration of the literal as a char*?

Thank you for any replies!

I don't see why this wouldn't work. What error message do you get?

Just tested your code. It works. If you are having trouble, it is probably not from that function.
