Hi,
My full code is too long, but here is a snippet that will reflect the essence of my problem:
class BPCFGParser {
public:
...
...
class Edge {
...
...
};
class ActiveEquivClass {
...
...
};
class PassiveEquivClass {
...
...
};
struct EqActiveEquivClass {
...
...
};
struct EqPassiveEquivClass {
...
...
};
unordered_map<ActiveEquivClass, Edge *, hash<ActiveEquivClass>, EqActiveEquivClass> discovered_active_edges;
unordered_map<PassiveEquivClass, Edge *, hash<PassiveEquivClass>, EqPassiveEquivClass> discovered_passive_edges;
};
namespace std {
template <>
class hash<BPCFGParser::ActiveEquivClass>
{
public:
size_t operator()(const BPCFGParser::ActiveEquivClass & aec) const {
}
};
template <>
class hash<BPCFGParser::PassiveEquivClass>
{
public:
size_t operator()(const BPCFGParser::PassiveEquivClass & pec) const {
}
};
}
When I compile this code, I get the following errors:
In file included from BPCFGParser.cpp:3,
from experiments.cpp:2:
BPCFGParser.h:408: error: specialization of ‘std::hash<BPCFGParser::ActiveEquivClass>’ after instantiation
BPCFGParser.h:408: error: redefinition of ‘class std::hash<BPCFGParser::ActiveEquivClass>’
/usr/include/c++/4.3/tr1_impl/functional_hash.h:44: error: previous definition of ‘class std::hash<BPCFGParser::ActiveEquivClass>’
BPCFGParser.h:445: error: specialization of ‘std::hash<BPCFGParser::PassiveEquivClass>’ after instantiation

/usr/include/c++/4.3/tr1_impl/functional_hash.h:44: error: previous definition of ‘class std::hash<BPCFGParser::PassiveEquivClass>’
Now I have to specialize std::hash for these classes (because standard std::hash definition does not include user defined types). When I move these template specializations before the definition of class BPCFGParser, I get a variety of errors for a variety of different things tried, and somewhere (http://www.parashift.com/c++-faq-lite/misc-technical-issues.html) I read that: Whenever you use a class as a template parameter, the declaration of that class must be complete and not simply forward declared.
So I'm stuck. I cannot specialize the templates after BPCFGParser definition, I cannot specialize them before BPCFGParser definition, how may I get this working?
Thanks in advance,
Onur
