[Insight-users] typedef name cannot follow class/struct/union

[Dan Mueller]

Hi Neil,

Hmm... This error seems strange. Where exactly is the typedef defined?
Maybe you could a bit more of the code to help us diagnose the
problem.

Visual Studio is known to behave differently when the typename keyword
is used *within* the template definition. In that case you can replace
"typename" with "ITK_TYPENAME". This macro is defined in
Code/Common\/itkWin32Header.h (see below). Not sure if this will help
in this case, but perhaps worth a shot...

// typename keyword in default template arguments is not accepted by
// MSVC.  This macro should only be used in such places.
# if !defined(CABLE_CONFIGURATION) && (_MSC_VER < 1310)
#  define ITK_TYPENAME
# else
#  define ITK_TYPENAME typename
# endif
#else
# define ITK_TYPENAME typename
#endif

Cheers, Dan
