template explicit specialization

[gemo]

Hello,

I'd be very thankful, if someone could help me with my problem. I have a following class declaration in one of my header files:

class myclass
{

  ...

  private:
    template < typename T > std::string myfunc()
    {
       // here only exception, specialization forward
       assert(false);
    }

  ...

}; //myclass

// explicit specialization

template <> std::string myclass::myfunc < double >()
{
  // here do some stuff
}

This compiles, but the linker displays an error message: "multiple defition, bla-bla". I thought that I could move the specialization to the class scope, but then it doesn't compile, because the specialization should be in a namespace scope.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance

Have you tried declaring the specialized function inline?
