CMap issue when converting project from VS6 to VS2008

[hobnob]

Hi,

I'm converting a large project to VS2008 from VS6 and i'm getting a strange template problem on VS2008 only, hope someone can help.

I have an include file which has the line:-
class CMap;

but when I compile in VS2008 i get error:-
error C2990: 'CMap' : non-class template has already been declared as a class template

It is been used in other includes no problem.

if I take that line out 'class CMap;' then I get error:-
error C2955: 'CMap' : use of class template requires template argument list


Any ideas on how to fix this?

Thanks,
Hobnob

fixed it! put class CMap; before that line of header code and now it works. weird.

It isn't a real fix until you know exactly the reason for that line of code being there. Otherwise you may have other "fixes" being done that make no sense code wise (and C++ wise), and you wind up with a mess on your hands.
