exort and template

[max-divulskiy]

Good afternoon.
I have a question concerning use keyword export the templates. I want to share template advertisement and its implementation using the keyword export (do not want to pull very large .h files).
For example like this all works:

[bash]#ifndef ETEMPLATE_H
#define ETEMPLATE_H

template  
void SomeFnc (T const&);

#include "ETemplate.cpp"

#endif // ETEMPLATE_H[/bash]

[bash]//ETemplate.cpp
#include "stdafx.h"

template 
void SomeFnc (T const& x)
{
	printf("All work\n");
}[/bash]

But by using the export i have errors:

[bash]#ifndef ETEMPLATE_H
#define ETEMPLATE_H

export
template  
void SomeFnc (T const&);

#endif // ETEMPLATE_H[/bash]

[bash]//ETemplate.cpp
#include "stdafx.h"
#include "ETemplate.h"

export
template 
void SomeFnc (T const& x)
{
	printf("Dont work\n");
}[/bash]

Tell my how to use correct export.
Thanks in advance.

export template is not implemented on our Windows platform.

It is implemented on our Linux platforms (if you use the -export switch) but you might want to think twice about using it, I would recomment that you read:

My advice:

If it's compile time you're worried about, use precompiled headers.
If it's name pollution, use namespaces.
