hi,
I need to use a template class object within another template class.
Specifically gcc (3.2.3 on linux) gives me a problem when the INNER
TEMPLATE OBJECT IS CREATED USING THE TEMPLATE PARAMETER OF THE ENCLOSING
CLASS and when i call the inner class object function from the enclosing
class object function..
AS this works fine in MS VC7 so i wanted to know if this is some bug in
gcc
Example :
In the below example the "enclosing" class contains an object of
"contained" class. The contained object is created using the
template parameter of "enclosing" class. When the "enclosing" class
function is called, we call the function of the inner object.
template <std::size_t size>
class contained {
public:
template <std::size_t sub_size>
int func_inner(){ ... }
};
template < std::size_t size>
class enclosing {
public:
template <std::size_t sub_size>
int func_enclose(){ ...
return
(static_cast<contained_size>( inner_object) ) .fun_inner();
//
=================THIS GIVES AN ERROR ========================
MARK1
}
contained<size> inner_object; // ============== THIS IS THE
ORIGIN OF ERROR ? ===================== MARK2
};
Note : The error disappears if i use a specific value when creating the
inner_object ( MARK 2 above)
That is instead of "contained<size> inner_object" if i use "contained <N>
inner_object" where N is any number like 32.
(Even in that case i need to use a static_cast ( see MARK 1) to remind the
compiler of the data type of inner_object otherwise
the compiler gives an error which i find strange.)
I cant use a specific value for the inner object as it should take it from
the enclosing class template parameter. Since this is
not working i would greatly appreciate if someone can tell me whether this
is a gcc bug or if i need to do something special to let the compiler
know what i am trying to do.
Thanks &

Suresh,
What type of objects are contained_size and inner_object?

hi corey,
>> What type of objects are contained_size and inner_object?
Sorry, that was a typo (not in the actual code but in the mail that i
sent).
(Instead of putting the actual code, i wanted to put in a short one
illustrating the problem!!)
inner_object is an object of class contained (which was correct in the
mail). This is within the class "enclosing". The "enclosing"
class has a template parameter "size" and contained is created using that
size. WHICH IS WHERE THE PROBLEM ORIGINATES
as i said in the previos mail.
i.e., contained<size> inner_object;
and there was a typo in the static_cast . It should be :
(static_cast<contained <size> >( inner_object) ) .fun_inner();
I hope i can get some answer as this looks very gcc specific.
Thanks in advance

Can you tell me what the actual gcc error is?

Hi suresh,
Sorry about all the emails, but my gcc dev machines were unavailable to me.
Ok, so the issue is that even though the templates are type
equivalent, literal integer values create an explicit specialization.
I just became busy with work, so I'm unable to find the spec paragraph
that states this with non-type template parameters.
I believe that is the issue you're seeing.
