Hi,

in Nicolai Josuttis book about the C++ standard library, class templates
are defined like this:

template<class T>
class MyClass<T>
{
T value;
};

That doesn't work for me (g++ 3.3.4):
templates.cpp:4: error: `MyClass' is not a template
templates.cpp:6: confused by earlier errors, bailing out

I have always used this syntax:

template<class T> // or preferrably 'typename T'
class MyClass // no <T> here
{
T value;
};

Which has always worked for me. I am just curious why the syntax presented
in one of the (if not *the*) most popular books about the C++ standard
library doesn't compile with g++ (which is probably as popular as the book
*g*).

Thanks,
Matthias
