Thread: Inheriting from specific templated version of class

I would like to do something like the following:

Code:

template<class T>
class BaseClass
{
public:   
   BaseClass(void);
   //....
}

template<class T> BaseClass<T>::BaseClass(void)
{
   //....
}


class SubClass : public BaseClass<SomeType>
{
pubic:   
   SubClass(void);
   //....
}

SubClass::SubClass(void)
{
   //...
}

Using MSVC++ 7, everything compiles fine, but I am getting unresolved external symbol errors from the linker for each function in SubClass stating that a definition in BaseClass is missing. For example, the constructor gives the error

Code:

unresolved external symbol: BaseClass<SomeType>::BaseClass<SomeType>(void)

The generic function definitions are there. This seems to imply that I need to supply specific definitions to be able to inherit this way. Am I doing something wrong? Surely a class structure like this is possible, isn't it?

I've had the same problem before, simply put the implementation in the same file. ( .h )

For the curious, tilex is correct, the implementation must go in the same file. I think that this is a Visual Studio problem and I believe that this is why: MSDN Knowledge Base

Look at this thread
