c++ - Issue with Constructor of Struct nested in Class Template

itemprop="text">

I need to turn a linked list class for
ints that I wrote into a class template. I'm having issues with the constructor and
destructor for a struct nested in the List Class, called node.

Layout:

            template 
 class List
 {


            public:
 //Stuff that's not important to this question

            private:
 struct Node
 {
 Node(T value); //
            constructor
 ~Node(); // destructor
 Node *next; // pointer to the
            next Node
 T data; // the actual data in the node
 static int
            nodes_alive; // count of nodes still allocated

 };

            };

Implementation:

template
            
typename List::Node::Node(T
            value)
{
 data = value;

 next =
            0;
}

template 
typename
            List::Node::~Node()
{

            --nodes_alive;
}

Errors:

1. Expected ';' at
   end of declaration

   
   
   

   typename List::Node::Node(T
   value)




2. Expected an identifier or
   template ID after '::'

   
   
   

   typename
   List::Node::~Node()




3. Expected the class
   name after '~' to name a
   destructor

   
   
   
   

   typename
   List::Node::~Node()

Not
really sure what's going on here. My implementation is in a separate file included at
the bottom of the header file. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Answer

It's simple: Get rid of the
typename keyword. Since you're writing a constructor/destructor
and there is no return type, it is not
needed.

template             T>
List::Node::Node(T value)

{

            data = value;
 next = 0;
}

template
            
List::Node::~Node()
{

            --nodes_alive;
}
