Getting Error when passing by reference

translore (31)
I'm trying to pass in vector<LeafNode*> LeafNodeList;
by reference into a class like this:
TreeFromListConstruction tree(&LeafNodeList);
why can't I do it? It says this:
: error C2664: 'TreeFromListConstruction::TreeFromListConstruction(std::vector<_Ty> *)' : cannot convert parameter 1 from 'std::vector<_Ty> *' to 'std::vector<_Ty> *'

	}

	TreeFromListConstruction tree(&LeafNodeList);//***GET ERROR HERE***


Note LeafNode is a derived class of Node

vector<Node*> and vector<LeafNode*> are two different types. Try using a vector<Node*> to store your LeafNode ponters.
