How to Fix Error: no matching function for call to 'std::async(...)'

October 14, 2024

Master C++ async calls with our guide. Learn to fix the 'no matching function' error efficiently, tailored for firmware developers. Clear steps and examples.

How to Fix Error: no matching function for call to 'std::async(...)'

 

Understand the Error

  • The error "no matching function for call to 'std::async(...)'" indicates that the call to `std::async` does not match any of the available function signatures. This usually means there is a mismatch in parameter types or an issue with template arguments.
  • Check if the specified function and its arguments truly match any of the overloads defined for `std::async`.

 

Check Function Signature

  • Ensure that the function used with `std::async` matches the expected signature. Remember, `std::async` can take callable objects like functions, functors, or lambdas.
  • Verify if there are any implicit conversions happening with the arguments, which might prevent the resolution of the function call.

 

Include Required Headers

  • Ensure that you have included the necessary headers. For `std::async`, you need to include:

    ```cpp
    #include
    ```

 

Correct the Callable Function

  • Ensure the callable function or method you pass to `std::async` is accessible and has the correct signature. For instance, if a member function is used, make sure it's either static or you are providing an instance pointer for it.
  • If you need to call a member function, use `std::bind` or lambda expressions to provide the necessary parameters.
  • ```cpp
    std::async(std::launch::async, &SomeClass::SomeMemberFunction, someInstance, argument1, argument2);
    ```

  • Using a lambda:

    ```cpp
    std::async(std::launch::async, [&](){ someInstance.SomeMemberFunction(argument1, argument2); });
    ```

 

Specify Launch Policy

  • Try explicitly specifying the launch policy (e.g., `std::launch::async` or `std::launch::deferred`). Some environments need this explicit instruction to resolve the appropriate function.
  • ```cpp
    std::async(std::launch::async, someFunction, argument1, argument2);
    ```

 

Ensure Correct Argument Types

  • Verify that all arguments passed to the function match the expected types. Use `static_cast` or other casting methods if necessary to match the function signature.

 

Use Template Arguments

  • If the callable involves templates, make sure to pass the correct template arguments during the `std::async` invocation.
  • For instance:

    ```cpp
    template
    void someFunction(T param);

    std::async(std::launch::async, someFunction, 42);
    ```

 

Check for Compilation Warnings

  • Compile your code with warnings enabled (e.g., `-Wall -Wextra` in GCC) to find possible implicit conversion issues or incompatible arguments that might help you determine the problem cause.

 

Validate Compiler Support

  • Ensure your compiler supports C++11 or later. `std::async` is available from C++11 onwards, and using an outdated compiler standard can result in unresolved function calls.

 

Review Overloading and Namespaces

  • Double-check if there could be custom overloads or namespace issues affecting the resolution of `std::async`. Explicitly qualify `std::async` if needed to avoid ambiguities.
  • Use explicit namespace qualification:

    ```cpp
    std::future result = std::async(std::launch::async, someFunction);
    ```
