Re: [Dev-C++] I've never seen this one before.

[Jeffrey H. <jh...@ho...>]

the warning is pointing at the wrong spot, it's yelling about a declaration, 
and pointing at the call in main

>	declares a non-template function

note: friend 'declaration'
the problem is probably in class declaration
most likely:

>friend ostream& operator <<(ostream& outs, const List<ItemType>& theList);

involving the 'friend ostream&'

that is all I have found

as a guess:  there is no template for a friend declaration in this context

if anyone else can find more, please let me know
if I'm chasing a wild goose, please let me know
