problem enumerating objects, building Chat application.

Hi guys!

I'm trying to build a Chat application with Qt and TCP. I've attached the server-side project as an attachment.
Each new client is created as an object on ClientSocket-class.

Each client should be able to write messages to other clients, of course, so I was thinking of creating a static vector where to store all the chatters. However as you see if you try to build my project enumerating the objects from the vector doesn't work. I've tried to do it according to this example:
http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/stl/vector/begin/

QtCreator outputs following error while build:

clientsocket.cpp:54: error: no match for 'operator=' in 'i = ClientSocket::_usrList.std::vector<_Tp, _Alloc>::begin [with _Tp = ClientSocket, _Alloc = std::allocator<ClientSocket>]()'
clientsocket.cpp:54: error: no match for 'operator<' in 'i < ClientSocket::_usrList.std::vector<_Tp, _Alloc>::end [with _Tp = ClientSocket, _Alloc = std::allocator<ClientSocket>]()'



What am I doing wrong? 8|

Thanks already!

OK I solved the problem that I had at first place. I faced another wall:

If I take the static definition away from _usrList, build goes OK, but then of course the program don't work as I wanted.

Hello,

I still don't know how to get rid of my problem. I have modified the code just a little, by changing std::vector to QVector, and some minor stuff, but I still face the same problem.

I think I could be able to go around my problem by using a global QVector where to store all the clientsockets, but I don't want to.
How do I need to define _usrList in the ClientSocket class to be able to use it?
