[RESOLVED] Template function and linking problem

[Deepak_Sharma]

hello,

i have a question regarding template function
i have a template function in .h file.

template <typename T>
int append(UINT8 *p, UINT16 type, T val)
{
	.................
}

i am using it in two classes MyClass1.cpp MyClass2.cpp
when i included the "MyTemplate.h" in both the CPP file i get linking error. already defined !!

can some one please tell how to fix it

Did you add a #pragma once at the beginning of the header file?

You can also make it a public, static method of a class, but you still need the header guards.

hello,
it is already there!! i even added the #define too.
i think the problem is that linker has got its definition and when it again encounters it.
it complains "Already defined in abc.obj" file

any other clue?
