Template Class Inheritence

Question

I have a template class called Stack which I'm trying to inherit from. I do this:

template <class T> class Queue : public Stack
{ };

but the compiler says:

error: expected class-name before '{' token

What's wrong?

Please add Stack definition, and the line where the compiler shows the error — crazyjul

You should definitely work on your accept-rate to give others a motivation for answering your questions. If you don't know what I'm talking about, read the FAQ. — Christian Rau

If Stack is a template, then you have to provide it's template arguments when you reference it.

The error is possibly in your Stack class. The compiler has only tried to compile it now because it is being used.
