Templates and Inheritance

[jeff00seattle]

Hi

Can I define that a Template must be a subclass of an interface class?

I have defined an interface IComparable that expects to compare two items of type T:

template <class T>
class IComparable 
{ 
    public: 
        virtual int CompareTo(const T) = 0; 
}; 

I want to apply it to a function template:

template <class T>
bool search_array( IComparable<T> &items[], IComparable<T> &item )
{}

Does this look correct?

Thanks

That looks fine to me...did you get any errors?

Looks okay to me. Did you mean to make the parameter a reference here?

virtual int CompareTo(const T&) = 0;
