Template member function

Hi everyone,
i've got a problem with a template function member of a non-template
class. My code is the following:

class PropMap
{
private:
std::map<std::string, void*properties;
public:
template<typename T>
T getProperty(std::string key)
{
return reinterpret_cast<T>(properties[key]);
}


T setProperty(std::string key, T value)
{
return reinterpret_cast<T>(properties[key] = value);
}
};

when i try to call the "getProperty" method:

int* i = getProperty<int*>("pos");

I get the error: "expected primary function". I think gcc doesn't know
that getProperty() is a template by I don't know why. Is there any
workaround to fix this?
Thank you very much.
Paolo

You forgot to #include <mapand <string>
template <typename T>
PropMap pm;
int *i = pm.getProperty<int*>("pos");

compiles on my g++. You should post a minimal, but complete program that
shows the error.
It isn't. PropMap::getProperty is.

I wrote a little esample using that class and it works, but I still
can't compile my program. Unfortunately I'm not able to reproduce the
error with an example.

Perhaps the example needs to be extremely large (like all your source) but
it should be possible. Without seeing what you're trying, we can't help.
