Bitset inside template declaration

I would like to know if it is possible to have bitset inside a template declaration like so:

ListData<bitset<64>>* hamming = new ListData<bitset<64>>();

ListData is class containing a T element like so:

template <typename T>
class ListData {
   public:
     ...
   private:
     T number;
};

The compiler says that the template argument invalid and that hamming was not declared in this scope. Any idea?

p.s. I am unable to use C++ vector containers due to my assignment's restrictions

Solution

  • I found the answer. It turns out the compiler thought ">>" in: 

    ListData<bitset<64>>* hamming = new ListData<bitset<64>>();

    was recognised as the overloaded operator >>.

    ListData<bitset<64> >* hammingList = new ListData<bitset<64> >();

    Thus the above fixes the problem.
