Templated function and stl

I defined a templated function as below:

Code:

---

template<class T>
list<T *>::iterator FindInternalByID(list<T *> *_List, int _ID){
        list<T *>::iterator i;
        for (i = _List->begin(); i != _List->end(); i++){
                if ((*i)->GetID() == _ID){
                        return i;
                }
        }

        return _List->end();
};

---

Compiler gives an error:
error C2146: syntax error : missing ';' before identifier 'FindInternalByID'
I tried some other definitions and found that if i dont return an iterator like the above, no error occurs.
How can I correct this?

You should prefix typenames based on templated types with the "typename" keyword.

Also, have you included <list> and added an using directive or declaration for the std namespace?

Finally, names with underscores followed by an uppercase letter (like _List) are reserved for the implementation. Don't mimic the naming style of your library implementation, stick to legal names.

Thanks. "typename" fixed the error.
