Template compilation issue

Hi,

I just started using Visual Micro for VS2010 with an Arduino Leonardo, and I'm having issues compiling a class with templates.

This class and usage causes a 
Code
Select All
Compiling 'sketch' for 'Arduino Leonardo'
sketch.cpp.o:In function `loop'
sketch.ino:update()'
Error creating .elf


Code (C++)
Select All
// Container.h
template <int N>
class Container
{
private:
    bool activeMask[N];
public:
    void update();
};

// Container.cpp
template <int N>
void Container<N>::update()
{
}

// sketch.ino
Container<1> container;

void setup()
{
    Serial.begin(9600);
}

void loop()
{
    container.update();
}


Commenting out the "container.update()" makes the compilation work fine.

Any idea?
Thanks!

Thanks for the response!

I can't really do an instantiation at the bottom because the template argument is meant to be defined at the call-site.

However I realized that it's just a template instantiation problem... if the implementation is not available at the call-site, it fails at link time : http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1639797/template-issue-causes-linker-error-c

By putting the implementation in the .h file (instead of a .cpp file) like Arduino libraries like QueueList does, it works fine.

Thanks though!

Yes I just worked that out thanks  Smiley

I notice the compiler error message isn't quite right so we will correct that.
