Thread: hmm... (iterator declaration problem)

I'm probably going to embarrass myself by asking this, as I'm expecting a complete oversight of something on my part, but I honestly can't see my error here.

The following code

Code:

template<class T>
bool Sequence<T>::isLinear(std::vector<T> v)
{
    std::vector<T>::iterator i; //compiles fine without this line
}

generates the following error

Code:

sequence.cpp: In static member function ‘static bool Sequence<T>::isLinear(std::vector<T, std::allocator<_CharT> >)’:
sequence.cpp:19: error: expected `;' before ‘i’

I've only included the code in the function which gives the error, it compiles fine if I remove the declaration of the iterator.

So what have I missed?

Try this:

Code:

template<class T>
bool Sequence<T>::isLinear(std::vector<T> v)
{
    typename std::vector<T>::iterator i; //compiles fine with this line as well
}

That should fix it .

It compiles now, thanks. I'll go read up on the typename keyword as well.

Cheers again
