Template resolution problem

[Mohanasundaram]

Hi All,

I am facing a problem with a piece of code which compiles and
works on windows. but it does not compile on g++. I am trying to figure
out is it a problem with the code which does not adhere to C++ standard
and windows compiler is not strict on that. I am using g++ version
3.2.3. Is the code correct? If not please advise.
#include<iostream.h>

class Employee
{
public:
static void showError()
{
cout<<"this shows error"<<endl;
}
};

template <class ItemType>
class MyContainer
{
public:
ItemType add(ItemType a, ItemType b);
};
class ASLDAPServices
{
public:
template <class MemberType>
MemberType add(MemberType a, MemberType b);

};
template <class MemberType>
MemberType ASLDAPServices::add(MemberType a, MemberType b)
{
return a+b;
}

class ASLDAPGroup
{
public:
template <class MemberType>
void addIt()
{
ASLDAPServices ad;
MemberType i = ad.add<MemberType>(12,34);
cout<<i<<endl;

}
};

int main()
{

ASLDAPGroup grp;
grp.addIt<int>();
return 0;
}

$ g++ -o test1 test1.cpp

Which one is line 44? You have at least 3 lines in that function that
end on a semicolon. Why do we have to guess?

Hi Victor,

Sorry for that
Here is that line
MemberType i = ad.add<MemberType>(12,34);

Hi Victor,
I changed the code as per your suggestion but it is giving the
following error

Changed code:
----------------------
template <class MemberType>
MemberType ASLDAPServices<MemberType>::add(MemberType a, MemberType b)
{
return a+b;
}

error:

My bad. Should be

template<class MemberType>
MemberType ASLDAPServices::add<MemberType>(MemberType a, MemberType b)
....
