expected type-specifier and cannot convert ‘int*’ in initialization

Question

I have a large amount of code, so I have tried to only include the relevant parts of the code here

My cpp files compiled with no problems when they were included in another cpp file.

I have another file called. This compiled fine before, until I tried to include the files above in

I get undefined reference errors, even though they were defined in the cpp file

What is going on? Is there a linkage error? Do I need to make changes in the makefile?

oh, the actual class has a semicolon after it. I just forgot to include it when I tried to modify its contents to post it in the question — csx, Nov 20 '14 at 21:04
Why are you using `Asp::Asp(input)` ? Shouldn't that be either `Asp* asp = new Asp(input)` (because of your using clause) or a full resolved `ASP:Asp* asp = ASP::Asp(input)` including the namespace ? — WhozCraig, Nov 20 '14 at 21:19
@WhozCraig, why would `new ASp::ASp(input);` be considered an `int*`? — R Sahu, Nov 20 '14 at 21:30

Using

ASp* asp = new ASp(input);

works for me. Not sure why using

ASp* asp = new ASp::ASp(input);

is a problem. Need to dig further to find out.

Update

The same problem was addressed at using declarations in main (C++). The tool chain for that question is MS Visual Studio. The answers there point out the same problem but there is no explanation of why new Asp::Asp(input); would be of type int*. The error message reported by the OP appears to be a g++ specific error message.
