Hi,

On my first attempt to create a templated class, I'm hitting an issue that I can't seem to resolve.

I've dustmite'd the code down to:

class Cache(O, K, F)
{
}


void main()
{
	class BasicObject
	{
	}

	BasicObject lookupBasicObject() {
	}

        Cache!(BasicObject, string, lookupBasicObject);
}


and I'm hitting the following error:

cache.d(23): Error: template instance Cache!(BasicObject, string, lookupBasicObject) does not match template declaration Cache(O, K, F)

Any help would be much appreciated in understanding what I am doing wrong.

Thanks.

Take care,
Fabrice.

By default template parameters are Types. lookupBasicObject is not.

change this `class Cache(O, K, F)` to `class Cache(O, K, alias F)`
and it should work.

In addition to what Nicholas Wilson said, what you're doing here is the equivalent of writing `int;`. It doesn't make any sense as Cache!(...) is a type, and you are declaring a variable of that type... except you're not providing a variable name so the syntax is wrong. After you've fixed the other problem change it to this:

Cache!(BasicObject, string, lookupBasicObject) c;
