    [RESOLVED] Why we cannot put class template member function definition in cpp file.

    If I class template member function definition in cpp file,I got bunch of linker error.But it works fine if the definition is in the header file along with the class template.Why is it like that?.Did I miss something.

    By putting the whole template definition in an include file you are using the inclusion model. See here for an explanation,
