I'm trying to import some sources intro my project. And I came across this error when trying to compile.
6:1: error: unknown type name 'template'
The header that gets the error looks something like this.
template <typename T> T MyMin(T a, T b)
{ return a < b ? a : b; }
template <class T> inline T MyMax(T a, T b)
{ return a > b ? a : b; }
template <class T> inline int MyCompare(T a, T b)
{ return a < b ? -1 : (a == b ? 0 : 1); }
inline int BoolToInt(bool value)
{ return (value ? 1: 0); }
inline bool IntToBool(int value)
{ return (value != 0); }
If you need more details just let me know.
Do you have any ideea what the problem might be?
I found out that my MyLibrary.h
was compiled using the gcc because it was called inside a .c source file.
This was due to a multitude of includes which all led to the same file.
Because the gcc was used, the keyword template wasn't recognized.
Fixed it by making the g++ compile the source file where MyLibrary.h
was included.
