template link errors

I've been looking for a solution for this all day now, and it's driving me crazy. I have a C++ couple of C++ template classes that I'm using in a test executable for a DLL I built. The templates are used in the DLL as well, but in all cases that I use it, to avoid errors, I have all the template code in the header, so when it's included all the code is available for the compiler to do the type resolutions. When I build the DLL, it compiles and links just fine. However, when I build the executable, I get unresolved token and unresolved external symbol errors for the template, but only for the one that I use in the executable, not for the ones used in the DLL. I have tried to change the type temporarily to int and have copied and pasted the code directly into the source, neither of which fixed anything. In case it helps, the project is set up to be a command line executable. The same code works flawlessly on both Linux and Mac OS X. Any help would be appreciated.

Visual Studio Express Editions24

The same code works on Linux and Mac OS X But Linux and Mac OS X don't have DLLs. They may shared libraries which not work the same way as a DLL.

Does the executable include the header file

Could you provide a small example that illustrates the problem

Just because the same code is used in Linux and OS X doesn't mean it has to be compiled as a DLL. It can just as easily be compiled as a static library, shared object, dynamic library, or framework by simply changing the compiler command.

I did in fact include the header, otherwise it wouldn't have even compiled. As I said before, I even copied the template's source directly into the file at one point, even though it's pretty much the equivalent of including the file, and it didn't make any difference. I also used #error macros to make sure that the compiler was getting to those places.

Since I'm not at work, I can't really give you an exact example, but the setup of the files is simple enough. In the template's header, I have 2 template classes (a node and a list class), and all the functions are defined in the class definitions. (mainly because for some reason, when I defined the functions outside using the class::function resolution, the compiler would complain that it's illegal to use dllimport for those functions, even though I never used the dllimport macro on any of them) The main source file then includes the header, and uses the list class (*** well as the node class, some) the way you normally would. Nothing really special is going on, which is why I'm baffled as to why it won't link. If you need some more concrete examples, I can post both source files later.

Please post the linker errors.

Tomorrow I will be able to post the exact errors, since I will be at work. I have 3 unresolved token errors and 17 unresolved external symbol errors, one for each function in the list. (the node class doesn't produce any errors, for some reason) Each one shows the data type I used in the executable in the space for the template data type. (with a bunch of other symbols, which I'm guessing is just name mangling)

If a solution isn't posted by tomorrow, first thing I'll do when I get to work is post the complete source for the template and executable files to see if there's something that Microsoft's compiler just doesn't like in it, as well as the build report. (fortunately the source isn't too long, since the executable is really just a test application)

As promised, here's the code:

the template file:
#ifndef GGUI_LIST_H
#define GGUI_LIST_H

#ifndef NULL
#define NULL 0
#endif

* generic doubly linked list that will be used for many things, and can be used
* freely by the programmer using this library; note that it will use pointers
* to store the objects. That means that if you specify it to use ints, it will
* use int pointers for everything. That way it decreases the overhead of
* copying the data back and forth. (also, it's mainly meant to use larger
* objects and classes, rather than simple things such as ints)

I narrowed it down to the code below to get it to compile with the missing header files. Try it yourself. I didn't get any compile nor linker errors. Email me the entire project if you want me to diagnose it. |Monkeytail| = @

#include "stdafx.h"
#include <iostream>
#include "gguiList.h"
#ifndef _WIN32
#include <sys/time.h>
#endif

struct TimerCallback
{
void (*callback)(int value);
int value;
double time;
TimerCallback(void (*callbackFunc)(int value), int passedValue, int msecs)
{
callback = callbackFunc;
value = passedValue;
time = msecs/1000.0;
}
bool operator==(TimerCallback &other)
{
return false;
}
bool operator>(TimerCallback &other)
{
return false;
}
};

GGUIList<TimerCallback> *timerList;
double lastTime;
double currentTime;

void addTimer(unsigned int msecs, void (*callback)(int value), int value)
{
timerList->insertItem(new TimerCallback(callback, value, msecs));
}

int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
{
timerList = new GGUIList<TimerCallback>;
if (timerList->getCount())
{
GGUINode<TimerCallback> *node = timerList->getBeginning(), *nextNode;
TimerCallback *currentCallback;
while (node)
{
nextNode = node->getRight();
currentCallback = node->getData();
currentCallback->time -= currentTime - lastTime;
if (currentCallback->time <= 0)
{
currentCallback->callback(currentCallback->value);
timerList->deleteNode(node);

I forgot to mention that I did get it to compile by taking out all the template code. ;)

Here's a link to a project that has the TestGUI.cpp file and all the headers necessary, as well as all the dlls and libs necessary to get it to work. I also included the test program that I used to test my lsit: TestList.cpp, which compiles just fine. http://akb825.com/downloads/TestGUI.zip Thanks for your help.

I've narrowed it down to this set of lines in one of my header files:
#ifdef _MSC_VER
#ifdef GGUI_COMPILE
#define GGUI_EXPORT __declspec(dllexport)
#else
#define GGUI_EXPORT __declspec(dllimport)
#endif
#else
#define GGUI_EXPORT
#endif

I take it to mean that it doesn't like the precense of __declspec(dllimport), even though I don't use it anywhere in my template code. Any suggestions about this
