hi I am facing a problem accessing a template member function of class (object ) from another template class Is this a limitation of the gcc. Any workarounds ? suggestions ?. I am using gcc ( ver > 3.2 )on linux . Thanks for help ----------------------------------------------------- More details below ------------------------------------------------------- Note: Class outer has an instance of dummy. The read function of outer calls the get function on the dummy instance template <std::size_t sz> class dummy { public: template<std::size_t ssz> unsigned int get(unsigned int index) { } }; template <std::size_t sz> class outer{ public: template<std::size_t ssz> unsigned int read(unsigned int index) { return (static_cast<dummy_type > (obj)).get<sz>(index); } typedef dummy<sz> dummy_type; dummy_type obj; }; >> Something like below in main does not work int main() { outer<32> o_obj; std::cout<<"\n o_obj.read() :"<<o_obj.read<8>(1); //does not work; results in a compilation error } --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Warm Regards, Suresh.T
