this is the "testlist"function which is in "server.cpp"file.

Got errors as:

1>c:\documents and settings\lina\desktop\winsock2-basicclientserver1\winsock2-basicclientserver\winsock2server\server\winsock2server.cpp(134) : error C3861: 'testList': identifier not found
1>c:\documents and settings\lina\desktop\winsock2-basicclientserver1\winsock2-basicclientserver\winsock2server\server\winsock2server.cpp(137) : error C3861: 'testList': identifier not found

According to the errors displayed, the compiler does not recognise it, but i donot know how to make it recognise.

I'm no expert in templates, but I have a feeling you may need a semi-colon (;) after your template definition(s).

Just for the record, the following shortened form of your code compiles successfully:

C++

using namespace std;

template <typename T>
struct Router
{
    T rval;
};
// Ended
//YLN added 2010-09-25
template <typename T>
void testList(Router < T > &listObject, const string &typeName)
{
    cout <<" Testing a list of " << typeName << " values \n";
    cout << "End list test \n\n";
};
//Ended
int _tmain()
{
//  int integerRouter;
            Router <int > integerRouter;
            testList ( integerRouter, "integer");
            Router < double > doubleRouter;
            testList ( doubleRouter, "double");
    return 0;
}

Solution 1

Check if the following work -

testList<int>(integerRouter, "integer");
testList<double>(doubleRouter, "double");

Why isn't it in an include file? Unless you're using a compiler based on EDG you can't export a template definition from a source file and just include the prototype somewhere. Whatever calls testlist needs to see it's full definition - in your case it needs to be introduced into winsock2server.cpp, either by including it or wholesale cut-and-paste.

Cheers,

Ash

PS: Actually, while I'm on the subject...

The router definition needs to be visible to whatever you're compiling testList in as well.
