QList inside function template

Question

I am trying to create a function template containing a QList iterator :

template <typename T> void funcTemplate()
{
    QList<T>::ConstIterator it;
}

I get:

In function 'void funcTemplate()': error: expected ';' before 'it'

I tried lots of things but I can't make it compile. It is really strange because I can create a QList without problems:

template <typename T> void funcTemplate()
{
    QList<T> list;
}

Does anybody has an idea?

Thanks!

You need `typename` keyword. – Jarod42 Apr 27 '15 at 16:27 — Jarod42, Apr 27 '15 at 16:27

It should be

template <typename T> void funcTemplate()
{
    typename QList<T>::ConstIterator it;
}

Thanks! I don't really know how nested templates work. I had no idea how to find this solution. I am going to read the other thread. – Plouff Apr 28 '15 at 06:49
