I've been sent here by a friend, he told me to post my problem here. Been trying to solve this for the past three days now. And I was following a books exercise, with the exception that I have seperate headers and cpp files, and this is my first attempt at using templates.
I've been having these linker errors, and they make no sense to me. I've double checked, not just once, not twice but thrice times!
What I've done is: check for the proper includes, check if I've implemented all the methods properly. And removed and added the file causing the errors in my project.
I've tried changing the code generation Multi-Threaded Debug DLL to Multi-Threaded Debug. And other types as well. I've tried going from Debug to Release.
The errors:
1>Stroustrupbookexercises.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "public: __thiscall LinkedList<class Data>::LinkedList<class Data>(void)" (??0?$LinkedList@VData@@@@QAE@XZ)
