main.cpp:18:10: error: need 'typename' before 'ptrModel<std::vector<Data> >::Type' because 'ptrModel<std::vector<Data> >' is a dependent scope

/*

 * main.cpp

 */

 

#include<vector>

#include<memory>

 

template<typename T>

struct ptrModel

{

 typedef std::unique_ptr<T>Type;

};

 

 

template<typenameData>

struct ptrType

{

 typedef ptrModel< std::vector<Data>>::TypeType;

};

 

int main()

{

 return0;

}

 

The compiler told you exactly what to do. Write typename before ptrModel<std::vector<Data> >::Type,  like so:

 

 typedef typename ptrModel<std::vector<Data> >::Type  Type;

The reason for this requirement is that the compiler doesn't at this point know whether ptrModel<std::vector<Data> >::Type describes a member variable or a nested type. It can't even figure that out by looking at the definition of ptrModel because there might be a specialization ofptrModel for std::vector<Data> somewhere else in the program that it hasn't gotten to yet which changes which of these things ::Type refers to. So you need to tell it explicitly.

 

The name ptrModel<std::vector<Data> >::Type has a "dependent scope" because it is in a scope that depends on the instantiation of a template.
