Inner class involving templates giving problem

[darkstorm]

Hi,

Please have a look at this code

when compiling it is giving error:
error C2440: '=' : cannot convert from 'ListNode *' to 'List<T>::ListNode *'
with
[
T=float
]
when I added List<T>:: before ListNode for

template<typename T>
List<T>::ListNode * List<T>::Head(void),

it gives a series of errors like undefined identifier T.....

Please tell me what is wrong here...

Thanks,

Post your _complete_ code again and this time put it all in one
translation unit and get rid of things like 'BOOL' or 'uint16' or define
proper typedefs for them.

The template definition is not enough to see what's wrong. We need to see
how you [attempt to] use your template.

You can replace BOOL by int, It is just a Bolean flag. uint16 can be
replaced by unsigned int. LOG_FAILED and ERXIT can be removed. Please
do try and reply. I am stuck there.....

Please do try *what*? The template definition is immaterial without
the code that causes it to be instantiated.

Please repost the _complete_ code that causes the error message to be
emitted.

Did you read this particular part of my reply?

You didn't provide enough information. I am not going to waste time
guessing how your template is supposed to be used. Please understand
that I have no mind reading abilities, you need to post what is needed
to solve the problem.
