template inside a template class

TheDestroyer (441)
Hello guys :)

I have a templatised class, and inside it I want to define a templatised operator. But the problem is that I'm succeeding with this only if I combine the prototype and the implementation. Could you guys tell me how to make it in 2 parts?

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
11
 
template <typename T>
class myClass
{
    T x;
public:
    template <typename U>
    myClass<T>& operator=(const vector<U> src)
    {
        x = src;
    }
};


So I'm looking for something like:
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
11
12
13
14
 
template <typename T>
class myClass
{
    T x;
public:
    template <typename U>
    myClass<T>& operator=(const vector<U> src);
};
template <typename U>
template <typename T>
myClass<T>& operator=(const vector<U> src)
{
    x = src;
}


but this last one doesn't compile.

Thanks for any efforts :)

You can do template<typename T, typename U> for the second and it should work fine.

Thank you for your answer.

Yours doesn't work, pal! it says that the function doesn't match the on in the class!

I had to do it just the way I wrote it, but the other way around! so something like:

1
2
3
 
template <typename T>
template <typename U>
myClass<T>& operator=(const vector<U> src)


Could you please show me an exmaple where your example could work?

LB's answer won't work in any context; the way you did is the only way.
