templated functions & libraries

[nikunj2512]

I created a templated func that works just fine when placed in a .H file or .CPP file, but when I place it in a .LIB file (and include the function prototype in the file using it) it won’t work.
For example:

template <class T> void f(T var)<br /> {<br />       .... do something....; return;<br /> }</class>

1 2 3 4

template <class T> void f(T var)<br /> {<br />       .... do something....; return;<br /> }</class>

and  template void f(T var);  for the prototype.
But I get an error saying that the external function is undefined, or something like that (basically that it can’t access the function in the library).

I am using Borland C++BuilderX, which is a suite (not sure which version compiler) and I have gotten other functions to work w/ .libs and templated funcs to work while not in a .lib. How might I fix this problem?
