Official EthernetClient Sample Not Compiling - Ambiguous overload error with latest Arduino 1.0.6 #2611
Description
The code sample below - the official Arduino sample code.
will not compile:
http://arduino.cc/en/Reference/ServerAvailable
My public code libraries use the EthernetClient library like this - and same method I used is mentioned in several books and several ethernet sources - but it will not compile anymore on 1.0.6
(I have tried official 1.0.6 and the nightly build ARDUINO 1.6.0rc3 - 2015.02.03)
The problem is EthernetClient cannot be tested for true/false anymore (it used to have a overloading that allowed you to query it being ready by using boolean comparitor).
The sample code has not worked since 1.0.5
Official Sample Code:
EthernetClient client = server.available();
if (client == true) { //compiler error here
}
What is the correct new way to do this test now - and will the documentation be changed or the IDE/Compiler be changed back (best option)?
Thanks very much.
