Hello!

I'm looking for some help with the c++ syntax.
What I want to do is the following: I have a template
class X<T>. Within X I want to declare a nested class N.

My approach is the following:



template<class T>
class X
{
    class N;   // Declaration here, definition follows
	       // below. As far as I know, this is/will
	       // be allowed with std-C++. (r.9.7)
    N* np;     // Question 1: This should be legal, but
    N  n;      // this might not.
};


template<class T>
class X<T>::N  // Question 2: Is this syntax correct?
{
    void N();
    T  t;
};


template<class T>
void X<T>::N::N()  // Solution 1: IMO this makes sense.
    : t()
{
}


template<class T>
void X<T>::N<T>::N()  // Solution 2: Could have to be this way
	              // as well, but solution 1 looks nicer.
    : t()
{
}

Thank you in advance for your answers.
