template classes and inline methods

[tuli]

hi,

i have a template class which defines a few heavy methods. For now, they are defined in the same .h file as the class definition, but i`d like to have them in a separate .cpp file.
A situation i find you describe in the FAQs arises:

http://forums.codeguru.com/showthrea...-template-code

Problem: the export keyword has been deprecated in c++0x, if i recall correctly, and has never been implemented in any of the compilers i am using (msvc, gcc).
(maybe one could mention that in the FAQ...)

#Including the the .cpp file after the class definition (as described in the second post of the FAQ) works, but i`m not a huge fan of it.
Is there any other way?


another question: i have methods that dont use any template code. Can i somehow declare them as such? (more of an esthecial question, which would make it easier to distinguish between template and non.template code).

thanks.
