Getting error: prototype for does not match any in class

Hello,

I am writing my own signal processing block to calculate |x1|^2+|x2|^2
where x1 and x2 are complex. But I am getting below error

Kunal,

This error message is telling you all you need to know: Compare the
definition and declaration of the make() function, and you’ll see
they’re different.

gr_vector_const_void_star&, gr_vector_void_star&):
/home/cogwsn/GRProject/gr-testmodule/lib/power2_cf_impl.cc:67:34: error:
d_vlen was not declared in this scope
/home/cogwsn/GRProject/gr-testmodule/lib/power2_cf_impl.cc:74:46: error:

Likewise, this error message is very explicit. The function takes
float*, and you pass float. Check the function signature.

A word of caution: If you’re writing C++ blocks with VOLK accelerators,
you should be very fluent in C++ (pointers, too) and familiar with your
compiler of choice.

If you are still learning, that’s fine, of course! But maybe you should
start with something a bit simpler.

Cheers,
M
