segmentation fault with enum

I have the following function

template<class T> T stringTo(const std::string& s)
{
 std::istringstream iss(s);
  T x;
  iss>>x;
  return x;
};

and when I apply it as follows:

session ft = stringTo<session>("F");

where session is:

enum session {F, S, T};

I get a Segmentation fault.

can you help me figure out where my error lies...

Could the problem be that you are using 'F' instead of "F"?

It seems like your stringTo function wants a string and you are sending in a char.

Btw, I don't think your approach is valid. You probably need to setup a map that takes you from string to enum or vice versa.

Maybe, this might give you an option.
