[Dev-C++] Template member function (C++ obviously)

[P.D. v. Z. <pa...@my...>]

Hi,

I'm trying to implement a pointer-to-member callback function in one of
my classes, and I finally seem to have the syntax right. I have a member
function whose prototype looks like this:

template<typename T> void Parse(const std::string& strFile, T* pClass,
bool (T::* pCB)(const ConfigLine&))

It's a member function of a non-template class ConfigParser. When I try
to use this function however, I get a linker error. "[Linker error]
undefined reference to `void ConfigParser::Parse<Config>(std::string
const&, Config*, bool (Config::*)(ConfigLine const&))'"

Now I've browsed through numerous tutorials, checked my "The C++
Programming Language" book, and did a bunch of Google searches, but I
still can't find what I'm doing wrong. I could send the relevant code
along, but won't bother you with it just yet. I would guess that if I
define and implement the template function, I shouldn't be getting any
linker errors for whatever type I put into it.

I hope anyone can help me, cause I'm starting to consider making the
entire class a template, just to get rid of the linker error. I already
switched from Visual C++ 6 to GCC because of one of the many bugs in
VC++6, one of which is that it doesn't seem to understand/support
template member functions.

Thanks in advance,


Paul
