Is it possible to use a class template in its member functions? - c++

Question

My class is size parameterized. In one of its methods I have to create a temporary array, but I don't know how to pass the class's size template to the member function. This is how I tried:
#include <array>
template<unsigned int N>
class MyClass{
std::array<int,N> m_data;
public:
void myFunc(){
std::array<int,N> tempArray;
}
};
int main(){
MyClass<5> obj;
obj.myFunc();
}
Edit:

Answer 1

Template parameters are visible inside methods of the template class; the code is correct.
There's no error at all, nor in the provided code example, nor in the build log. The message in the build log is just a warning (with the lines before providing context for it), which correctly warns you about the fact that that variable isn't used, as per the -Wall option provided on the command line. Other than that, the code compiles fine, both on ideone and on my machine (where it gives you exact same warning, not error).
[matteo#teolapkubuntu /tmp]$ g++ -Wall -Wextra -std=c++11 stuff.cpp
stuff.cpp: In instantiation of ‘void MyClass<N>::myFunc() [with unsigned int N = 5u]’:
stuff.cpp:15:16: required from here
stuff.cpp:8:27: warning: unused variable ‘tempArray’ [-Wunused-variable]
std::array<int,N> tempArray;
^~~~~~~~~
The "1 error" message at the end of the build log is just CodeLite misinterpreting the compiler output; there is an open bug about it, with conditions similar to yours.
