No viable overloaded '=' at std::vector

I have this c++ program with the following types:

typedef pcl::PointXYZI PointType;
typedef pcl::PointCloud<PointType> PointCloudType;
typedef std::vector<PointCloudType::Ptr> CloudPtrList;

and this in main:

CloudPtrList clusterPtr(2);
   
    for (int i = 0; i < clusterPtr.size(); ++i)
    {
        clusterPtr[i] = boost::make_shared<PointCloudType>();
    }

And i keep getting this error ' no viable overloaded =' when i try to initialize this vector (the for above)

clusterPtr[i] = boost::make_shared<PointCloudType>();

This is the full error:

 No viable overloaded '='

Solution

  • As can be seen in the error message ...

    ...you are using a newer version of PCL in which boost::shared_ptr has been replaced by std::shared_ptr:

    #include <pcl/common/projection_matrix.h>
#include <pcl/point_types.h>

//#include <boost/make_shared.hpp>   // boost::make_shared
#include <memory>                    // std::make_shared

typedef pcl::PointCloud<pcl::PointXYZI> PointCloudType;

int main() {
    std::vector<PointCloudType::Ptr> clusterPtr(2);

    for(int i = 0; i < clusterPtr.size(); ++i) {
        clusterPtr[i] = std::make_shared<PointCloudType>();   // std::make_shared
    }
}
