C++ template and pointers
- by Kary
I have a problem with a template and pointers ( I think ). Below is the part of my code:
/* ItemCollection.h */
#ifndef ITEMCOLLECTION_H
#define ITEMCOLLECTION_H
#include <cstddef>
using namespace std;
template <class T> class ItemCollection
{
public:
// constructor
//destructor
void insertItem( const T );
private:
struct Item
{
T price;
Item* left;
Item* right;
};
Item* root;
Item* insert( T, Item* );
};
#endif
And the file with function defintion:
/* ItemCollectionTemp.h-member functions defintion */
#include <iostream>
#include <cstddef>
#include "ItemCollection.h"
template <class Type>
Item* ItemCollection <T>::insert( T p, Item* ptr)
{
// function body
}
Here are the errors which are generated by this line of code:
Item* ItemCollection <T>::insert( T p, Item* ptr)
Errors:
error C2143: syntax error : missing ';' before '*'
error C4430: missing type specifier - int assumed. Note: C++ does not support default-int
error C2065: 'Type' : undeclared identifier
error C2065: 'Type' : undeclared identifier
error C2146: syntax error : missing ')' before identifier 'p'
error C4430: missing type specifier - int assumed. Note: C++ does not support default-int
error C2470: 'ItemCollection::insert' : looks like a function definition, but there is no parameter list; skipping apparent body
error C2072: 'ItemCollection::insert': initialization of a function
error C2059: syntax error : ')'
Any help is much appreciated.
