Hi folks,
why does the compiler give me an error, when i try to do the following
template< typename particleStore >
void prtclRender::renderRender(particleStore)
{
for( int i = 0; i < maxPart; i++ )
{
pPointVertices->posit = particleStore.pos;
pPointVertices->color = particleStore.col;
pPointVertices++;
}
}
//...
//this is the call of that function
renderRender(prtcl);
where prtcl is of type std::vector <STParticle> prtcl;
pPointVertices & maxPart are some datamember.
The version without templates has worked.
