Question

error: expected constructor, destructor, or type conversion before ‘<‘ token

Relevant section of C++ code:

InputParser::vector<bar*> getFooBar(){
return bars;
} 

We have defined vector bars; as a private variable in the header file.

Can someone please explain how to resolve this error?

Answer 1

Your question is not too clear. If this is supposed to be a std::vector, that’s not the type you are using. Assuming getFooBar is a member of InputParser, the syntax is:

std::vector<bar*> InputParser::getFooBar()
{
    return bars;
}
