Sorry, The cut and paste mess up the error message. Here it is again. g++ -Wall -I/usr/local/include -L/usr/local/lib -Iinclude/ -c -o src/AMQP.o src/AMQP.cpp g++ -Wall -I/usr/local/include -L/usr/local/lib -Iinclude/ -c -o src/AMQPBase.o src/AMQPBase.cpp g++ -Wall -I/usr/local/include -L/usr/local/lib -Iinclude/ -c -o src/AMQPException.o src/AMQPException.cpp g++ -Wall -I/usr/local/include -L/usr/local/lib -Iinclude/ -c -o src/AMQPMessage.o src/AMQPMessage.cpp src/AMQPMessage.cpp: In member function 'char* AMQPMessage::getMessage(uint32_t*)': src/AMQPMessage.cpp:48:9: error: invalid conversion from 'char' to 'char*' [-fpermissive] return '\0'; ^~~~ <builtin>: recipe for target 'src/AMQPMessage.o' failed make: *** [src/AMQPMessage.o] Error 1 Yes, to your point. Although NULL == '\0' = 0. However, for type checking compiler, the return type has to match the signature. That is the reason why I suggest to use the system definition of "NULL" or type cast the return to "char *" Chi

There is an error during compilation of the file at line 48. The signature of the function is:
char * AMQPMessage::getMessage(uint32_t* length)

On line 48, the return statement is:
return '\0'

which is a char. And it does not agree with the return type.

I would like to suggest to change it to:
return NULL;
or
return (char *) '\0';

I have this same issue on Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS using g++ (Ubuntu 7.3.0-27ubuntu1~18.04) 7.3.0 and the following change to line 48 resolved the compilation error:

return (char *) '\0';

Thanks

你用的什么编译器
What compiler do you use?
my compiler version
gcc 版本 4.8.5 20150623 (Red Hat 4.8.5-11) (GCC)

[TomeC]

NULL == '\0' == 0

[TomeC]

Different compiler restrictions are not the same.
You can modify the code to adapt to different compilers.
By the way, where are you from?

[chifho]

Yes, I could modify the code to make it work. However, since I am pulling the git directly from within the Docker Container and do the build within, it would be nice that the fix can be done at the source instead of having a custom script to modify the source.

你这代码不严谨啊，不能怪人家编译器,一个是char,一个是char*
