problem with template inheritance
- by amiad
I'm trying to understand whay i get an error on this code:
(the error is under g++ unix compiler. VS is compiling OK)
template<class T> class A {
public:
T t;
public:
A(const T& t1) : t(t1) {}
virtual void Print() const { cout<<*this<<endl;}
friend ostream& operator<<(ostream& out, const A<T>& a) {
out<<"I'm "<<typeid(a).name()<<endl;
out<<"I hold "<<typeid(a.t).name()<<endl;
out<<"The inner value is: "<<a.t<<endl;
return out;
}
};
template<class T> class B : public A<T> {
public:
B(const T& t1) : A<T>(t1) {}
const T& get() const { return t; }
};
int main() {
A<int> a(9);
a.Print();
B<A<int> > b(a);
b.Print();
(b.get()).Print();
return 0;
}
This code is giving the following error:
main.cpp: In member function 'const T& B::get() const':
main.cpp:23: error: 't' was not declared in this scope
It did compiled when i changed the code of B to this:
template<class T> class B : public A<T> {
public:
B(const T& t1) : A<T>(t1) {}
const T& get() const { return A<T>::t; }
};
I just cant understand what is the problem with the first code...
It doesn't make sense that i really need to write "A::" every time...
