Re: [Dev-C++] templates in C++

[Ioannis V. <no...@ho...>]

The export keyword is part of the ANSI/ISO C++ standard. That means that
sooner or later it will be supported by all C++ compilers. The standard a=
lso
guarantees that templates work if you place the same definition of them i=
n
every file you use them (One Definition Rule). That is, the same that you
can do with inline functions. However that also means that if you change =
a
definition, you must recompile all the files having the (new) definition =
in
them.=0D

If i recall correctly the Intel C++ compiler supports it (but i am not 10=
0%
sure). Perhaps the latest versions of GCC also support it. One thing is
certain, that soon all compilers will be supporting export.=0D

Well, this export directive is a very good idea, but which compiler suppo=

it ? At least, gcc doesn't.
