templates are not supported?

Hi all,

I was building a dll using MFC on .Net 7.1 and have these this template:

CPP / C++ / C Code:


  template <class T>
  T min(const T& a ,const T& b)
  {
    return (a < b)? a : b;
  }

  template <class T>
  T max(const T& a ,const T& b)
  {
    return (a > b)? a : b;
  }

and got error saying the type T is not regognized:

Code:


 
a.h(58) : error C2059: syntax error : 'function-style cast'
a.h(58) : error C2226: syntax error : unexpected type 'T'
a.h(58) : error C2059: syntax error : ')'
a.h(64) : error C2062: type 'const int' unexpected
a.h(64) : error C2059: syntax error : ')'
a.h(65) : error C2143: syntax error : missing ';' before '{'
a.h(65) : error C2447: '{' : missing function header (old-style formal list?)

I remember someone told me that templates were not supported somewhere but I don't remember exactly what it is... is it .Net or MFC???

Here is what I found on the tutorial www.cplusplus.com :

Quote:

Templates are a new feature introduced by ANSI-C++ standard. If you use a C++ compiler that is not adapted to this standard it is possible that you cannot use them.

Could someone tell me where and why these templates are not supported?

Thank you!
