Instantiated class (C++)

[robiwan]

I want a class that inherits several classes, one of which is a template:

class MyClass : public ClassA, public ClassB, public Template<MyClass>

In the Detail tab I chose "Instantiated" and "Arguments" to "MyClass". Then I get:

class MyClass : public ClassA<MyClass>, public ClassB<MyClass>, public Template<MyClass>

which isn't what I want. I've worked-around it by typedef'ing the Template<MyClass>, but I'd rather have it generated properly, than having to work-around it.

TIA

Hi Robert,

It's not just that it "isn't what I want"; it's just plain wrong!

Report this as a bug to Sparx.  You can use the [size=13]Report a Bug[/size] link via the Support link at the top of the page.
Place a reference back to this topic in the bug report.  That way, the Sparxians can see any ongoing discussion.
If you get a response, please add it to the topic.

There are quite a few issues with the way in which EA mishandles Templates -this is just another manifestation.

Bug acknowledgement from Sparx support:
--------------------------------
We are aware of this issue and have recorded the following issue.

Issue ID: 06080251
Description: EA only allows specification of one set of template arguments, and uses those for all generalized classes

This will be corrected in a future build of EA.  Until then, you can handle the situation by creating a typedef as you have done or manually create a class named Template<MyClass> and create a generalization to that class.
