Hi Eljay, Nearly as I thought. But : When the template method / function is used in the related cpp file, then the Linker could link from other files to the same function (with same type). Therefor I use a dummyfunction. The problem now is, that CW and VC preserve the methods during compiling. gcc now optimize them away (small, like GetBuffer or so), so they run in the file, but cannot be linked. So, is there a way to get those methods preserved, so I could link to them ? I know, the best is : into the Headers. But I made template classes (some), which are based on each other. Cause the size, I would like to have them in cpp / h file. Also this looks more clean. Kind regards Eljay Love-Jensen <eljay@xxxxxxxxx> on Montag, 25.
