I am extending a template class using C++ in Visual Studio 2005. It is giving me an error when I try to extend the template base class with:
template <class K, class D>
class RedBlackTreeOGL : public RedBlackTree<K, D>::RedBlackTree // Error 1
{
public:
RedBlackTreeOGL();
~RedBlackTreeOGL();
and a second error when I try to instantiate the object:
RedBlackTreeOGL<double, std::string> *tree = new RedBlackTreeOGL<double, std::string>; // error 2
Error 1:
**redblacktreeopengl.hpp(27) : error C2039: '{ctor}' : is not a member of 'RedBlackTree' with [ K=double, D=std::string ] **
Error 2:
main.cpp(50) : see reference to class template instantiation 'RedBlackTreeOGL' being compiled
The code is trying to inherit a constructor, not a class :-)
The start of the class declaration should be
template <class K, class D>
class RedBlackTreeOGL : public RedBlackTree<K, D>
