hi -
i'm repeating a post of mine from thewavelength's forums regarding
templates. anyone have any advice?
i've tried a few different things, here's the definitions for them:
CODE
template <class T> void Test2(void) { T damn; return; }; //default with
int
template <class T> T Test(T a, T b) { return (a>b?a:b); }; // used
ints, avoided <>
template <class T> T* CreateMinElements(T* a); // same as in cbase.h
GetClassPtr
template <class T> void ResetSystem(void); // default example
and called them like such:
CODE
Test2<int>();
Test(3,5);
CTempElement* a;
a = CreateMinElements((CTempElement*) NULL);
ResetSystem<CGenericListElement>();
and got the following errors on compile:

C2059: syntax error : ')'
Error executing cl.exe.
hl.dll - 4 error(s), 0 warning(s)
any ideas? i did in fact implement the bodies of the first two, but i don't
think it's important enough to include here. CGenericListElement is a parent
of CTempElement, and the two templates that have those as the parameters
imply the use of the parent type or something related, due to some internal
commands with T.
thanks,
barret
