What C++ templates issue is going on with this error?
- by WilliamKF
Running gcc v3.4.6 on the Botan v1.8.8 I get the following compile time error building my application after successfully building Botan and running its self test:
../../src/Botan-1.8.8/build/include/botan/secmem.h: In member function `Botan::MemoryVector<T>& Botan::MemoryVector<T>::operator=(const Botan::MemoryRegion<T>&)':
../../src/Botan-1.8.8/build/include/botan/secmem.h:310: error: missing template arguments before '(' token
What is this compiler error telling me? Here is a snippet of secmem.h that includes line 130:
[...]
/**
* This class represents variable length buffers that do not
* make use of memory locking.
*/
template<typename T>
class MemoryVector : public MemoryRegion<T>
{
public:
/**
* Copy the contents of another buffer into this buffer.
* @param in the buffer to copy the contents from
* @return a reference to *this
*/
MemoryVector<T>& operator=(const MemoryRegion<T>& in)
{ if(this != &in) set(in); return (*this); } // This is line 130!
[...]
