passing a templated struct...

[Toby]

Hail and well met.

I am trying to pass a templated struct to another template. Ex:

template <class VertexType>
struct EdgeNode {
VertexType index;
int weight;
};

template <class VertexType>
struct VertexNode {
VertexType info;
UnsortedType<EdgeNode<VertexType>> edgeList;
};

is this not legal? I am getting an error along the lines of:

c:\documents and settings\toby\my
documents\cpp\assignment6\graphtypelinked.h(16) : error C2146: syntax
error : missing ',' before identifier 'edgeList'

among others.

Try:

};

Note the extra space between the '>'s.

It worked! Interesting.... Well thank you very much! I don't understand
why that tiny whitespace made a difference though... ?
Thanks!

I believe it has to do with C++ using a "greedy" parser. Which means it
will see those consecutive '>'s as a single ">>" token instead of as two
separate '>' tokens.

assistance, as this assignment is due tomorrow morning ;-] )
