std::to_string - more than instance of overloaded function matches the argument list

Question

counter is an int

void SentryManager::add(std::string name,std::shared_ptr){
    name = name + std::to_string(counter         


        

Answer 1

You have tripped over C++ DR 1261, which reads in part

The code "int i; to_string(i);" fails to compile, as 'int' is ambiguous between 'long long' and 'long long unsigned'. It seems unreasonable to expect users to cast numbers up to a larger type just to use to_string.

The proposed resolution is to add more overloads. GCC has implemented this already; I guess MSVC hasn't.
