I am using Visual C++ .NET 2003 and running into some linking error from the
following template code.
The error messages is
error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "class

operator<<(clas s std::basic_ostr eam<char,struct std::char_trait s<char> >

};
template <class object>
ostream & operator << (ostream & out_stream, Test<object> &test) {

return out_stream;
}
cannot figure out what the problem is. Am I writing my template wrong or
what? 5 8434

Try this:
// Forward declarations...
template <class object>
class Test;
template <class object>
ostream & operator << (ostream & out_stream, Test<object> &test);
template <class object>
class Test {
private:
object T;
public:
Test(object x): T(x) {};
friend ostream & operator << <> (ostream & out_stream, Test<object> &test);
};
template <class object>
ostream & operator << (ostream & out_stream, Test<object> &test) {
out_stream << test.T ;
return out_stream;
}
Take note of the change to the friend prototype.
Cheers.

I figured out that forward declaration was unnecessary in my fragment of
code. Is it just a good programming habit? Also I would like to hear some
brief explanation why the prototype has to change in the way you have told
me to. Thank you.

Well, your right(you might not need the forward declarations), it is
just a workaround that I use for BCB5.

Ok, in your original friend declaration:
friend ostream & operator << (ostream & out_stream, Test &test);
....the ostream operator '<<' is declared as a 'NON-TEMPLATE' function.
Then you implement a 'template' version of operator '<<', expecting
it to be the implementation for the 'non-template' version:
template <class object>
ostream & operator << (ostream & out_stream, Test &test) {
out_stream << test.T ;
return out_stream;
}
The brackets '<>' in the friend declaration, tell the compiler
to use/instantiate the templated version of operator '<<', rather
than a new 'non-templated' one.
friend ostream & operator << <> (ostream & out_stream, Test<object> &test);
Where you could also do this:
friend ostream & operator << <object> (ostream & out_stream, Test<object> &test);
Now they are templated declarations - what you really wanted.
Cheers.

A simpler approach for those of us who are antisocial and dislike friends is
simply to declare a member
ostream& print(ostream&) const;
And then define a non-friend template in terms of print.

Yes, that is an alternative, and often used in an inheritance
hierarchy with polymorphism, but my aim was to provide the OP
with a fix or solution to the problem code presented :-).

All was well when compiled under VS2003, but I am running into a series of

within the STL. Any idea what might cause something like this?
