Thread: Pointers to (templated) classes being declared

hi,

I'm having troubles with the following class declaration:

Code:

template <class TYPE> class LList
{
public:
	LList();
	~LList();

	TYPE*	obj;

	LList<TYPE>* next, prev;

	LList<TYPE>* Add(TYPE* nObj);
	LList<TYPE>* Insert(TYPE *nObj);
	void Remove();
};

The compiler (MSVC8 Express) complains that :

Code:

helpers.cpp(13) : error C2460: 'LList<TYPE>::prev' : uses 'LList<TYPE>', which is being defined

But, i'm sure i've included member pointers in this way in a non templated class before. Can anyone shed any light on this?

thanks in advance

As usual, i stared at this for a morning, posted a question and immediately spotted the solution. Needed another * before the 'prev' variable name (have to admit, i find it counter-intuitive that you can declare objects and pointers in the same line)

Code:

template <class TYPE> class LList
{
public:
	LList();
	~LList();

	TYPE*	obj;

	LList<TYPE>* next,* prev;

	LList<TYPE>* Add(TYPE* nObj);
	LList<TYPE>* Insert(TYPE *nObj);
	void Remove();
};
