[orbitcpp-list] About templates

[Radu F. <ra...@tu...>]

Hi, guys!

This summer I will start working on my project for degree in computer
science and I want to use C++ and CORBA on Linux, so I thought I might use
ORBit and gcc (I am an open source advocate). Right now I gain docs and
samples, so I have a question on you: it is possible (or will be possible
in the near future) to create in C++ components using C++ template
support?

I ask that question because in one of my books about CORBA it is written
that "Templates: citing the viability in template ability among compilers,
the specification avoids requiring them. Use of templates is allowed, but
they do not appear in the specification itself." (CORBA Fundamentals &
Programming, by Jon Siegel, published by John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 1996).

Of course that when this book was written, the C++ standard was not
finished yes, and since than many things was changed.

And, if it's possible to create components using template classes in
C++/Linux, it would help me a lot is you can provide me some URLs with
examples & docs.

Thanx,
  Socrate
