Struct Template in C++ - c++

Question

I have a header file,
class CListEx
{
public:
CListEx();
~CListEx();
void InitList();
void AddList(char * msg);
private:
template <typename T>
struct MyList {
T data;
int num;
};
};
Now in Cpp file,
void CListEx::InitList()
{
MyList *my = new MyList();
}
And this gives error,
E0441 argument list for class template "CListEx::MyList" is missing
Error C2514 'CListEx::MyList': class has no constructors
Any ideas?
What I TRIED:
I tried below approach and that also gives errors.
template <typename T >MyList *my = new template <typename T >MyList();

Answer 1

The error message gives a very clear reason: argument list for class template is missing. Meaning, you should write some code like:
void CListEx::InitList()
{
MyList<int> *my = new MyList<int>();
}
Read up on templates for example at: https://www.programiz.com/cpp-programming/templates

Is this what you are trying to do?
class CListEx
{
public:
template <typename T>
void InitList();
private:
template <typename T>
struct MyList {
T data;
int num;
};
};
template <typename T>
void CListEx::InitList()
{
MyList<T> *my = new MyList<T>();
}
int main()
{
CListEx cle;
cle.InitList<int>();
}
Or are you trying to do this?
template <typename T>
class CListEx
{
public:
void InitList();
private:
struct MyList {
T data;
int num;
};
};
template <typename T>
void CListEx<T>::InitList()
{
MyList *my = new MyList();
}
int main()
{
CListEx<int> cle;
cle.InitList();
}
Beware of the memory leak. Preferably use std::unique_prt from <memory>.
