编译类模板时出现许多错误

Question

I'm trying to program a generic genetic algorithm in C++ using Visual Studio. To accomplish this, I'm making a couple of template classes. The template class I've made works fine when I put it in main.cpp, but I want to put it in a seperate header and cpp file. However I get many errors when I try to do it that way including "C2988 unrecognizable template declaration/definition". I'm hoping you can help with this.

Here's the header file:

//geno.h
#pragma once
//#include <iostream>
//#include "geno.cpp"

template <uint8_t NoChromo, uint32_t ChromoLength>
class geno
{
private:
    static const uint8_t NoMuTerms = 5;
    const float muTerms[3][NoMuTerms] = { { 1, 0, 0, 0, 0 },{ 0.02f, 0, 0, 0, 0 },{ -655.36f, 1, 1, 1, 1 }, };
    uint16_t mDNA[NoChromo][ChromoLength];
    uint8_t mExp[ChromoLength];
public:
    //constructor
    geno();
    //destructor
    ~geno();
    //copy constructor
    geno(const geno& og);
    //assignment operator
    void operator=(const geno& og);
private:
    //functions
    void print();
public:
    void genRand();
private:
    geno crossover() const;
    static geno recombine(const geno parents[NoChromo]);
    geno mutate() const;
public:
    static geno reproduce(const geno parents[NoChromo]);
};

#include "geno.cpp"

Here's geno.cpp

Here's my main.cpp:

#include <iostream>
#include <random>
#include <ctime>
#include "geno.h"

using namespace std;

int main()
{
    const uint8_t NoChromo = 3;
    const uint32_t ChromoLength = 10;


    geno<NoChromo, ChromoLength> a[NoChromo];
    for (uint8_t i = 0; i < NoChromo; ++i)
    {
        a[i].genRand();
    }
    geno<NoChromo, ChromoLength> b = geno<NoChromo, ChromoLength>::reproduce(a);
    cin.get();
}

I've already tried a lot of things and searched the web, but can't figure out what I'm doing wrong.

Thanks in advance,

Answer 1

I've deleted the implementation file and added it again as a .hpp file under headers in the solution explorer. I also changed #include "geno.cpp" at the bottom of my .h file into #include "geno.hpp" and now it works! (I had to add geno.hpp as a .hpp file and not as a .cpp file that I changed into .hpp file.) Thanks to everyone who commented on this question for their time, effort and ideas.

Nevermind, doing it the way described above, doesn't allow me to change the implementation once it's compiled. I have to delete the .hpp file, add it again, change the implementation and then compile it, just to recompile. A friend of mine recommended me CLion, so tomorrow I'll check if CLion does it any better.

EDIT: Now I can change the implementation for some reason...
