Hi'
I have a problem compiling the STL library (standard template
library) with DEC C++.
My configuration is:
Alpha server (several different types actual)
Digital UNIX v3.2a
DEC C++ (no version but setld identification CXXBASEA132)
STL distribution from HP (
ftp://butler.hpl.hp.com/stl).
The problem seems to be that the compiler doesn't handle classes used
as template arguments correctly inside templates. A template argument
"<class aType>" is legal as aType in the template, but as
aType::subclass.
One example from STL is the definition of the class unary_negate in
.../function.h (approx line 130).
The following example illustrates the problem.
class a {
public:
typedef int arg; // First typedef
};
class b {
public:
typedef char *arg; // No error here, so
// the first typedef
// wasn't global.
};
a i;
a::arg aa(4); // Uses correct definition
b::arg bb("hej med dig"); // of arg
a::arg func1(int argument); // Legal for function result
void func2(a::arg argument); // and arguments too
template <class aType>
void func3(aType arg1); // Normalt template, aType
// considered alegal type.
template <class aType>
aType func4(a::arg arg2); // Yet a normalt template
template <class aType>
void func5(aType::arg argument); // Upps error: Missing ")".
// aType::arg not considered
// a legal type
template <class aType>
class c {
public:
aType arg; // OK, aType is a legal type
};
template <class aType>
class d {
public:
aType::arg arg; // Upps error: Invalid declaration.
};
