I'm sorry if I ask something that's in the FAQ but I've searched google for
hours now. Maybe I'm looking for the wrong terms?
I have written a linked list class which is a template class. I've pretty
much followed the GOF recipe from the Iterator pattern example.
The follwing works fine in eg main:
LinkList<User*> users;
users.Add(new User("John"));
I can also instantiate objects like this from main:
LinkList<User*> * aUser= new LinkList<User*> ();
If I try to have a linked list as a member in the User things go bad...
class User{
private:
LinkList<Stuff* >* m_pStuff;
};
and in the constructor:
User::User()
{
m_pStuff = new LinkList<Stuff* >();
}
This gives all sorts of errors which seems to me like the member pointer is
syntactically incorrect. How can I have a member pointer variable pointing
to a template class object?
What's the correct syntax?
Can it be done as an auto_ptr too?
TIA

There's nothing wrong with the code you've posted. The error is somewhere
else.
How about posting a complete example, or at least posting the error messages
you get and pointing out which lines of code they apply to. At the moment
you are assuming that the regulars in this group have psychic powers (not
that I wouldn't put that past some of them).
And of course you can do this as an auto_ptr.

Why not use std::list?

LinkList<User*> users; users.Add(new User("John"));

This looks okay, but I'd need to see the code for LinkList. You should
ask yourself whether you really need pointers, or whether you could
use
LinkList<Stuff> m_stuff;
Possibly you need the member to be a pointer, but not the value_type
of the list, or vice versa. If you can get by without pointers,
everything is cleaner. This gives all sorts of errors which seems to me like the member
pointer is syntactically incorrect.
Tell us what the errors say.

It's a school laboration. Otherwise I'd definitely use a std::list.
In fact using templates is overkill for the assignment too, but I want it to
be interesting :)

Well... After rebooting (I went out for a short walk to clear my head) it
compiles...
*Sigh*
There are no error messages anymore.
It even compiles the way you suggested with an object variable.
The error messages that was before told me that there should be a ; before

I thought I was writing syntactically incorrect or doing something that's
wrong in C++, or maybe leaving out something related to the template syntax.
Seems it was a compiler hiccup.
:)
I was really getting grey hair...
And of course you can do this as an auto_ptr.
Great! :D

The syntax you are using is correct. The problem probably lies
elsewhere. It might help if you could post the actual error messages.

Of course, yes.

I'm very happy that I got the syntax correct. I thought I missed some
template declaration or something. :)

Hi, there.
Recently I was working on a problem where we want to save generic
closures in a data structure (a vector). The closure should work for
any data type and any method with pre-defined signature.
When developing this lib, I figured that the
pointer-to-member-function, although seemingly an attractive solution,
does not work well for us.

Hi,
I need to pass a pointer-to-member-function as a parameter to a function
which takes pointer-to-function as an argument. Is there any way to do it
besides overloading the function?
Here is a small program I wrote to check if I could get the address of the
function from the member-function-pointer, so that I could pass it to the
function as a normal function-pointer.

Hi
I know that offsetof is basically a C leftover, and only works for POD
types, not classes, so it is recommended that I use pointers to
members instead. However, I have a problem where I don't see how I
should use pointers to members.
Basically, I know how to get a member if I have an object and a
pointer-to-member (obj.*ptr instead of obj + offset), but I don't know
how to do the opposite: getting the object from a member address and...

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
