template functions

[amie8202]

Hi,
I'm pretty much new to using VC++ environment..And I really need some help.
I use vc++ 6.0, and I get some errors when I try to compile header file in vc++ which worked in linux.
What I get is a syntax error in the function.. such as

template <Class S, int D>
template <Class X> <- here
Vec<S, D> scale(const X &a)
{
//implementation
}
Is there a way I would not get the error in VC++ for that line, but works same as that?

Thanks in advance!

My understanding is that VC++ 6.0 does not support template specializations (although the C++ standard does - see

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;240866).

My suggestion is that you should try to redesign your codes and avoid template specializations whenever possible.

Alternatively, you can try looking for an update to VC++ 6.0 compiler. Perhaps, Microsoft has issued an update to fix the bug.

I ran into this problem before... I believe what I did was for template classes was move the default #include "stdafx.h" to the bottom of the cpp file. I dont have my code here at work so I dont know if this is the exact answer.

Thanks guys for your help!
Actually I found out that VC++ 6.0 can have template function inside template class to be implemented when I declare it.. So I sort of managed the problem. :-D
