为什么没有这个返回类型的工作？ （C ++）

Question

当我尝试使用我的迭代器类

template<class T>
class list
{
public:
class iterator;
};

template<class T>
class list<T>::iterator
{
//stuff
};

如在操作符重载返回类型，

template<class T>
class list<T>::iterator
{
public:
iterator& operator++();
protected:
list* lstptr;
};

template<class T>
iterator& list<T>::iterator::operator++()
{
(this->lstptr)->current = ((this->lstptr)->current)->next;
return this;
}

我得到这些错误：

Answer 1

iterator还不知道在该点。你需要告诉它这是在list<T>类：

template<class T>
typename list<T>::iterator& list<T>::iterator::operator++() {
    (this->lstptr)->current = ((this->lstptr)->current)->next;
    return *this; // *this here, since this is a pointer only
}

注意typename是必需的，因为list<T>::iterator是一个模板特前缀一个类型，你需要告诉编译器 - 尽管事实上，VISUAL C ++可能会接受代码不会把typename之前。省略typename，编译器应该假设它不是一个类型和排序应该产生相同的错误消息。

您能安全自己，麻烦通过将代码直入类：

template<class T>
class list<T>::iterator
{
public:
iterator& operator++() {
    (this->lstptr)->current = ((this->lstptr)->current)->next;
    return *this; // *this here, since this is a pointer only
}
protected:
    list* lstptr;
};

Answer 2

litb已经回答完全你的问题。我认为值得强调的是，在努力使C ++更容易使用，在C ++委员会增加了新的语法功能的声明。其结果是，你可以定义你的函数如下（的 n2541 ），而无需额外的资格：

template<class T>
auto list<T>::iterator::operator++()->iterator& 
{
  // ...
}

根据所支持的特征列表，GCC 4.4已经有这个功能。
