(C++) nested template closer

When template data types are nested, for example a std::vector of std::vectors of int, its declaration ends with its nested template closer.

The nested template closer depends on the standard used:

nested template closer in the C++98 standard
nested template closer in the C++11 standard

nested template closer in the C++98 standard

The nested template closer must be '> >', instead of just '>>'.


#include <vector>



int main()

{

  std::vector<std::vector<int> > v;

}

nested template closer in the C++11 standard

Download the Qt Creator project 'CppNestedTemplateCloser' (zip)

The nested template closer can be '>>'.


#include <vector>



int main()

{

  std::vector<std::vector<int>> v;

}
