undefined reference to `vtable

[stridder]

Hello,
I am begginner in C++ and using 3rd party library.
When running make target on Xubuntu I get the following error:

[100%] Building CXX object CMakeFiles/step-22.dir/step-22.cc.o
Linking CXX executable step-22
CMakeFiles/step-22.dir/step-22.cc.o: In function `LeftChannelBoundaryValues':

....

Here is the code of LeftChannelBoundaryValues.h:
#ifndef SRC_LEFTCHANNELBOUNDARYVALUES_H_
#define SRC_LEFTCHANNELBOUNDARYVALUES_H_

#include <deal.II/base/function.h>
using namespace dealii;

class LeftChannelBoundaryValues : public Function<2>
{
public:
LeftChannelBoundaryValues () : Function<2>(3) {}
virtual double value (const Point<2> &p, const unsigned int component = 0) const;
virtual void vector_value (const Point<2> &p, Vector<double> &value) const;
};

#endif /* SRC_LEFTCHANNELBOUNDARYVALUES_H_ */

and code of LeftChannelBoundaryValues.cpp:
#include "LeftChannelBoundaryValues.h"

LeftChannelBoundaryValues::LeftChannelBoundaryValues() {
// TODO Auto-generated constructor stub

}

LeftChannelBoundaryValues::~LeftChannelBoundaryValues() {
// TODO Auto-generated destructor stub
}

void LeftChannelBoundaryValues::vector_value (const Point<dim> &p,
Vector<double> &values) const
{
values(0) = 1; //u1=1
values(1) = 0; //u2=0
}

What could be the reason of this error?
Thank you.

LeftChannelBoundaryValues::LeftChannelBoundaryValues() {
// TODO Auto-generated constructor stub

}

LeftChannelBoundaryValues::~LeftChannelBoundaryValues() {
// TODO Auto-generated destructor stub
}

THose two functions are not actualy declared in class definition. Constructor one is actually tries to redefine already defined constructor.

I removed the above costructors it helped. Thank you!

The same error has appeared again even though I did not change niether LeftChannelBoundaryValues.h nor LeftChannelBoundaryValues.cpp. I did change the code that uses these files, but its pretty big to include it here. Could somebody explain the logic behind this error message so that I could trubleshoot it?
The only related change is that I moved the line

#include "LeftChannelBoundaryValues.h"

from beginning of all includes to after all includes.

=====================
Just in case current versions of LeftChannelBoundaryValues.h:
#ifndef SRC_LEFTCHANNELBOUNDARYVALUES_H_
#define SRC_LEFTCHANNELBOUNDARYVALUES_H_

#include <deal.II/base/function.h>

using namespace dealii;

class LeftChannelBoundaryValues : public Function<2>
{
public:
LeftChannelBoundaryValues () : Function<2>(3) {}
virtual double value (const Point<2> &p, const unsigned int component = 0) const;
virtual void vector_value (const Point<2> &p, Vector<double> &value) const;
};

#endif /* SRC_LEFTCHANNELBOUNDARYVALUES_H_ */

and LeftChannelBoundaryValues.cpp
#include "LeftChannelBoundaryValues.h"

double LeftChannelBoundaryValues::value (const Point<dim> &p,
const unsigned int /*component*/) const
{
return p.square();
}


void LeftChannelBoundaryValues::vector_value (const Point<dim> &p,
Vector<double> &values) const
{
values(0) = 1; //u1=1
values(1) = 0; //u2=0
}

Does Fucnction class templace have pure virtual destructor? Or any pure virtual functions?

[stridder]

I am not sure how to determine this. Its code and all relevant classes is here:
https://www.dealii.org/8.2.1/doxygen/deal.II/function_8h_source.html

is this pure virtual destructor?
virtual ~Function () = 0;

[MiiNiPaa]

is this pure virtual destructor?

Yes. And every class deriving from Function have to overload it or nothing will work.

[stridder]

Should my destructor also be virtual or doesn't matter?

[MiiNiPaa]

Your destructor will be virtual. If you made something virtual, there is no way to make it not virtual. presence of virtual keyword in derived classes is only for convenience.

[stridder]

got you, thank you!
