stack.h
------------
#ifndef _STACK_H_
#define _STACK_H_

#include "list.h"


template <class T>
class Stack {
private:
List<T> *stackImpl;
public:
Stack() {
stackImpl = new List<T>();
}
~Stack(){
stackImpl->destroy_list();
delete stackImpl;
}
void push(const T& data);
const T& top();
T pop();
};

#endif

stack.cc
-------------
#include "stack.h"

template <class T>
void
Stack<T>::push(const T &data) {
stackImpl->insert_head(new ListNode<T>(data));
}

template <class T>
const T&
Stack<T>::top() {
ListNode<T> *top_node;
stackImpl->remove_head(top_node);
T data = top_node->data;
delete top_node;
return data;
}

template <class T>
T
Stack<T>::pop() {
ListNode<T> *top_node = stackImpl->get_head()->next;
return top_node->data;
}

And finally driver program main.cc below:

#include <iostream>
using std::cout;
using std::endl;
#include "stack.h"

int main(void)
{
Stack<int> stk;
int i;
for(i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
stk.push((i+1));
}
for(i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
cout << stk.top() << endl;
}
return 0;
}

And I compiled in two different ways:

First way:

g++ -c -o list.o list.cc
g++ -c -o stack.o stack.cc
g++ -o main main.cc list.o stack.o

Second way:

g++ -o main list.cc stack.cc main.cc

both ways I'm getting following compilation output (error):

/tmp/cctl19Mo_O: In function `main':
main.cc:(.text+0xaf): undefined reference to `Stack<int>::push(int
const&)'
main.cc:(.text+0xcd): undefined reference to `Stack<int>::top()'
/tmp/cctl19Mo_O: In function `Stack<int>::Stack()':

main.cc:(.text._ZN5StackIiED1Ev[Stack<int>::~Stack()]+0x28): undefined
reference to `List<int>::~List()'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status


Can't understand the cause of the error above. Kindly help. Compiler
version that i use:

g++ (GCC) 4.1.2 20070115 (prerelease) (SUSE Linux)

Alf, Thanks that worked perfectly for me. Thanks to FAQ & it's
