templated vector build-up

[newbie]

Thanks for helping on this problem

suppose I have the following class
class MyContent {

vector<MyType1> v1;
vector<MyType2> v2;
}

And I have a templated function
template <class Type> foo(vector<Tpye>& a, int type_code, MyContent&
content) {

if(type_code) {
//insert elements in 'a' into content.v1
for(int i = 0; i < a.size(); i++)
content.v1.push_back(a);
} else {
// insert elements in 'a' into content.v2
for(int i = 0; i < a.size(); i++)
content.v2.push_back(a);
}

}

But the compiler complains unmatched type!! How can I solve it?

I should mention that: Type passed into this function will always be
either MyType1 or MyType2.

You should post the code that calls the template function. You should
post the exact error message. And you should post the line number that
the error message refers to.

It possible you should really post a complete program, that will get
your question answered in seconds flat.

But we haven't done anything yet. ;-)

The problem is that when the function is instantiated, "a" is
(presumably) either of MyType1 or MyType2. The former cannot be put in
v2 and the latter cannot be put in v1, but clearly you are trying to
do just that. Remember, all of the code in the function must compile,
regardless of what path will actually be taken at run-time.

Try this:

class MyContent
{
vector<MyType1> v1;
vector<MyType2> v2;
public:
void Add( const MyType1& a ) { v1.push_back( a ); }
void Add( const MyType2& a ) { v2.push_back( a ); }
}

template <class Type>
void foo(
const vector<Type>& a,
MyContent& content )
{
//insert elements in 'a' into content.v1
for(int i = 0; i < a.size(); i++)
content.Add( a );
}

Note that type_code is gone. Static and dynamic polymorphism are
intended to replace such "type switch" constructs.
