pullzed at static template member function

[Jee]

Hi,

I want to declare a static template member function inside a non-template class, but MS C compiler always

complains syntax error. I wonder if it is not allowed to do that? I tried SUN Forte compiler, it errored also.

My class is like,

class a{

public:

static template<class T> vector<T> getIntersection(vector<T>&, vector<T>&);

};

Could you point me what's wrong here?

class a
{
public:
template<class T>
static vector<T> getIntersection(vector<T>&, vector<T>&);
};

I tried this, I got the same error, in MSC the error is
error C2143: syntax error: missing ';' before '<'.

and in Forte the error is
Templates can only declare class and function.


Still puzzled...

Did you #include <vector>? Did you type "using namespace std;" or "using
std::vector;"?

This complete example compiles for me with Visual C++ .NET (2002):

#include <vector>

using std::vector;

class a
{
public:
template<class T>
static vector<T> getIntersection(vector<T>&, vector<T>&);
};

right code is:
class a{

public:

template<class T> static vector<T> getIntersection(vector<T>&, vector<T>&);

};

sorry about my answer with above.

if you got error, please check the MSC's version, maybe it is not
enough modern to compile this code or check the STL, please code:
#include <vector>
using namespace std; or using std::vector;
