C ++中的模板

Question

I've some problem with using templates:

myclass.h

#ifndef MYCLASS_H
#define MYCLASS_H

class myclass
{

private:


public:

    ~myclass();
     myclass();
    template<class S>
    void login(S login, S pass);
};



#endif // MYCLASS_H

myclass.cpp

#include "myclass.h"
#include "../additional_func.h" // for connect(QString,QString) function


myclass::myclass()
{

}

template <typename S>
void myclass::login(S login, S pass)
{

    additional_func->connect(login,pass);

}

myclass::~myclass()
{

}

in mainwindow.cpp (i'm using QT)

   myclass *vr = new vr();
   vr->login(ui->linelogin->text(),ui->linepwd->text()); // QString, QString

And I get error:

mainwindow.cpp:31: error: undefined reference to `void ecore::connect(QString, QString)'

What way for using myclass::connect in other classes?

Answer 1

You've declared login() within myclass in your header, but you don't show us here that you've defined it anywhere.

Putting a semicolon after the function signature simply declares that this function exists. It doesn't create a function. You have to define the function in order to use it.

You can define it within your header, by putting the function body in {} instead of a semicolon.

class myclass{
    // ...

    template<class S>
    void login(S login, S pass){
        // code goes here
    }
}

Placing the definition here is one way to indicate to the compiler that you wish to inline the function, although the compiler may choose not to, anyway.

Or, you could define it within your .cpp file just like the other functions you've defined.

 
 
 
  
  template<class S> void myclass::login(S login, S pass){ // code goes here }
 
  

^{Because this is a template function that will (presumably) be shared by multiple code files, it has to be defined within the header.}

Without one of these, there is no function body defined for the compiler to execute when you call this function, hence the "undefined reference" error.

Answer 2

You should put the implementation of your template function in the header file, not in a .cpp file.

A template's definition needs to be available to the compiler when it should be instantiated. At the point where you call vr->login(...) the compiler needs to have the template's definition (the function body) available to create an instance login<QString>() . If the template function's body is "hidden" in some .cpp file then no function is created, and later the linker complains that it is missing.

Answer 3

在.cpp文件中，该方法名为start（），而不是login（）。
