"class has no member named"

[fafner]

I'm getting a well-known error that should be pretty easy to solve:

‘class GeometricObject’ has no member named ‘get_material_ptr’

However, I can't understand why this would be the case. Here's part of GeometricObject.h:

#ifndef GEOMETRICOBJECT
#define GEOMETRICOBJECT

#include "Material.h"

class GeometricObject {
	public:
		GeometricObject(void);
...................
		Material* get_material_ptr(void) const;
..................
};

#endif 

And here's the implementation:

Material* GeometricObject::get_material_ptr(void) const {
	return material_ptr;
}

I have a feeling that the answer is pretty ridiculous, and I'm frankly a bit scared to even post this in case it is, but I just don't get this:p

Where are you using it?

[fafner]

This is the line that causes the error:

sr.material_ptr = objects[j]->get_material_ptr();

The class this line is from includes both GeometricObject and and the class of which sr is an instance.

Could you show us the declaration/definition of objects?

[fafner]

Sure:
std::vector<GeometricObject*> objects;

This is in the same class that contains the erroneous line.

I don't see any problem here.

Try cleaning the solution and rebuilding.

Ok, I did a completely clean build, and the error remains. This is really weird:p

Rewrite appeared to be the only option, fixed now:)
