Why does the compiler not see this function header?

My function header is this:

void FileIO::write(LinkedList<Librarian>& librarians, int numlibrarians,
                   LinkedList<Patron>& patrons, int numpatrons,
                   LinkedList<LinkedList<Item> >[] items, int numitems,
                   int currid)

The header in my .h is this:

void write(LinkedList<Librarian>&, int, LinkedList<Patron>&, int,
           LinkedList<LinkedList<Item> >[], int, int);

And yet, when I try to compile my program I get this error:

FileIO.cpp:923: error: prototype for ‘void FileIO::write(
LinkedList<Librarian>&, int, LinkedList<Patron>&, int,
LinkedList<LinkedList<Item> >*)’ does not match any in class ‘FileIO’

Why would this be? It seems like every one of my headers where I put > >[] is not recognized. Is there any other way to do this?

It appears that the write() function at line 923 is missing two integer parameters that are needed to make it correspond to the declarations.

This is C++ so LinkedList<LinkedList<Item> >[] items doesn't make sense since this is a Java construct. Actually the parser is bombing out early somehow thinking the [] is some token which is indeed odd. Replace with LinkedList<LinkedList<Item> > items[] and you should be good.

Try changing 

LinkedList<LinkedList<Item> >[] items

to

LinkedList<LinkedList<Item> > items[]
