Thread: template list syntax error

Ok, I'm working on a game and I'm having problems with constructors when allocating arrays of object, so I decided I'd make a generic linked list structure to get around it. So far I've got the specification written:

Code:

#ifndef MYLIST2_H
#define MYLIST2_H

template <class T>
class mylist;

template <class T>
class node {
private:
    node(T,node*);
    node* next;
    T data;
    friend class mylist<T>;
};

template <class T>
class mylist {
private:
    node *head, *cursor;
public:
    mylist();
    ~mylist();
    void addtoend(T);
    void addtostart(T);
    void remove();
    void addbefore();
    void clear();
};

#endif

This looks good to me, but when I compile it I get a 'syntax error before '*'' on this line:

Code:

node *head, *cursor*;

What am I doing wrong?

node is a template class, you need to specify its type:

Code:

node<T> *head, *cursor;
