Static member of a template class

[manolo567]

I have a problem with the definition of a static member of a template class. My "static1.h" file looks as follows:

#include <iostream>
#include <vector>

template<class T>
class zbi{
static std::vector<T*> zbi_vect;
public:
zbi(){ zbi_vect.push_back(this); }
};

template<class T>
std::vector<T*> zbi<T>::zbi_vect;

I use it then in the static1.cpp file:

#include "static1.h"
using namespace std;

int main(){
zbi<int> zbi1;
return 0;
}

But the compilation gives an error:

static1.h: In constructor 'zbi::zbi() [with T = int]':
static1.cpp:5: instantiated from here static1.h:8: error: no matching function for call to 'std::vector >::push_back(zbi* const)'
/usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/4.1.1/include/g++-v4/bits/stl_vector.h:602: note: candidates are: void std::vector<_Tp, _Alloc>::push_back(const _Tp&) [with _Tp = int*, _Alloc = std::allocator]

Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers

This code:

zbi(){ zbi_vect.push_back(this); }
};
 

is to add a zbi* to the vector. However this code:

zbi<int> zbi1;
 

specializes your template with int for T. Your vector is now:

static std::vector<int*> zbi_vect;
 

so you won't be able to push_back a zbi*.

Yeah, fool of me. Sorry to bother you with such a stupid thing. Big thanks!
