On: C++ Templates: The Complete Guide

Here's one way of organizing the code that works with g++. Other compilers have other methods of doing template instantiation so you will have to check the manuals.

/* Foo.h */
#ifndef FOO_H
#define FOO_H
template<class T>
class Foo {
public:
T foo;
Foo(T);
Foo();
T getFoo();
};
#include "Foo.imp.h"
#endif

/* Foo.imp.h */
#ifndef FOO_IMP_H
#define FOO_IMP_H
#include "Foo.h"

template<class T>
Foo<T>::Foo<T>(T t) {
foo = t;
}

template<class T>
T Foo<T>::getFoo() {
return foo;
}

#endif

/* Foo.cpp */
#include "Foo.h"

// optional explicit instantiation for int.
template Foo<int>;

/* main.cpp */
#include "Foo.h"

int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
Foo<int> foo = Foo<int>(123);
int i = foo.getFoo();

return 0;
}

Re:Rogue Wave

On: Portable Coding and Cross-Platform Libraries?

I've had the same experience as many of the other people who replied to this comment. The RogueWave tools library is more trouble than its worth. The database and threads libraries are okay but you can probably find a better cross platform threads library these days. I'd stick with the C++ standard lib and boost (www.boost.org) as much as possible and then look at RogueWave as a last resort.
