String.h Errors From g++ Compilation

I cannot make heads or tails of the following C++ error generated by g++

/tmp/ccH0IPVU.o: In function `myAPP::mandatory_bitfield_t::to_s(std::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char> >&, std::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char> >)':
myAPP.cpp:(.text._ZN3myAPP20mandatory_bitfield_t4to_sERSsSs[myAPP::mandatory_bitfield_t::to_s(std::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char> >&, std::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char> >)]+0x8c): undefined reference to `myAPP::to_s(unsigned char*, int)'
/tmp/ccH0IPVU.o: In function `myAPP::optional_bitfield_t::to_s(std::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char> >&, std::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char> >)':
myAPP.cpp:(.text._ZN3myAPP19optional_bitfield_t4to_sERSsSs[myAPP::optional_bitfield_t::to_s(std::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char> >&, std::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char> >)]+0x8d): undefined reference to `myAPP::to_s(unsigned char*, int)'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

Does anyone know what these errors are in reference to and how I can fix them?

That is actually a linker error.

undefined reference to `myAPP::to_s(unsigned char*, int)

means that your code is calling the to_s method somewhere, but the body of this method was not included in the object files passed to the linker.

As far as the linker knows, you have forgotten to include (compile) a definition of myAPP::to_s(unsigned char*, int).

I'm just translating the error message.

Cheers & hth.
