Dear all, once again I stumbled upon the following puzzling problem.
When having the following two files (see below), the gnu compiler
compiles the file without a problem while the compiler complains about
the fact that the function foo (which is declared as a template) is not
a template! The problem itself vanishes when changing the name of the
function foo in the class bar into some other function name, lets say goo.
The problem apears to originate from the same function name which excist
in the parent class.
So my question is now, is this syntax correct, or is one of the
compilers failing?
Thanks for the help

They both can be failing.

To verify your code better, you need to make the compilation _strict_
and _conforming_. Here you're just letting GNU extensions loose.

If youi need a particular instantiation of 'foo' to be the friend,
you need to give it the template arguments, I believe
friend void foo<T>(car<T>&, car<T>&);
Have you tried that?

So, have you actually tried inserting the entire 'car.hpp' into

you have two files, does it?

Yep, it gives the same error. And the above rule is given in faq-lite
also. When I remove the <from the friend declaration, i.e.
friend void foo(car <T&, car<T&);
The intel compiler gives a warning saying that I might need to include
the <.

Sorry, you are right there, here is the one file example
=== START CAR.CPP ======
template<typena me Tclass bar {
public :
void foo(bar<T&);
};
template<typena me T class car;
template<typena me Tvoid foo(car<T&, car<T&);
template<typena me Tclass car : public bar<T{
friend void foo <T(car<T&, car<T&);
};
car<inta;
===== END CAR.CPP =====
Again the same question remains, why does foo from the class bar
conflicts with the friend definition of the template function foo in the
class car?

Not sure what to tell you. GNU C++ is a slightly different language
than standard C++. It's full of extensions, some of which are bugs
in the compiler or in the compiler creators' understanding of the
Standard. You need to disable those. See man page to find out what
command-line switches to use.

I have switched those extensions off and the code compiles still fine in
GNU C++. I have done the same with the intel compiler but there it
gives that error again. Nonetheless the intel compiler has an other
option called -strict-ansi, with this it is possible to compile, but the
code becomes much slower due to this and is not really acceptable.
And since the intel compiler bases itself on the GNU compiler, I am a
bit surprised by its error. This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics |

Question: How do friend functions and static member functions differ in
terms of functionality? I mean, neither necessarily needs an object of
the class to be created before they are called and either has access
only to static members of the class (ie. assuming no object of the
class is in scope - neither by arguments recieved nor by local
declarations). Any static member function like this:

I need to grant a class access to protected fields of
another class in the way its possible in C++ with the

How can I do this. I cant see how the keyword Internal

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
