    Question implementation?

    Good Morning All!

    I know that when refering to a template class , that the implementation is the definitions of the member functions that are in the source file (.cpp). But when someone refers to the "complete implementation" of a template class, does this refer to something different or added? Or is it just a more technical way of talking about the function definitions?

    Thanks

    As far as I know, the complete definition of a template class needs to be in the header. Including the parts that would go into a .cpp file for a normal class.

    When in doubt, read the FAQ.
    Then ask a smart question.
