Subject: Type problem with template functions and inheritance ?
Date: Wed, 08 Sep 2004 20:10:00 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <200409082211.28678.simartin@users.sourceforge.net> (raw)
Hello.
I played a little with templates and template functions, and I encountered a
problem with GCC while doing so. The code at the end of this message builds
with Microsoft's Visual C++ Toolkit 2003, but fails with GCC. Since the code
is quite "weird", I wonder whether there's a problem in GCC or Visual is too
laxist.
What is strange is:
- the "<unknown type>" in the error message
- the fact that if I "help" GCC a little (before the first static_cast),
then things work fine.
Thanks in advance for your help / explanation.
Regards,
Simon
