Ok so I have code similar to the following: (cut down a bit to make it more readable)

Code:

namespace caspianprivate
{
	template <typename FunctionType>
	struct CScriptRegisterImpl
	{
		template <FunctionType* Function>
		static void Register(const char* name)
		{
			caspian::CScriptFunctionContainer::Get()->CreateFunction<FunctionType, Function>(name);
		}
	};
}

namespace caspian
{
	class CScriptFunctionContainer : public MapContainer_DefaultCreate<CScriptFunction>, public Singleton<CScriptFunctionContainer>
	{
	protected:

		CScriptFunctionContainer();
	};
}

in VS it compiles fine but in XCode it can't find "CScriptFunctionContainer". I can't just have one in front of the other as they have dependencies on each other.

Has anyone come across this sort of thing before? and any ideas about the solution?

EDIT:
the error I get is "'CScriptFunctionContainer' has not been declared" and it complains about the

Code:

caspian::CScriptFunctionContainer::Get()->CreateFunction<FunctionType, Function>(name);

line in the Register function.
Thanks

The problem is that XCode's compiler (GCC) actually parses template definitions before use, unlike Microsoft's compiler.  This is a flaw in the MS compiler that they pretty much refuse to fix.  The solution is to declare everything before use.

Code:

namespace caspianprivate
{
        template <typename FunctionType>
        struct CScriptRegisterImpl
        {
                template <FunctionType* Function>
                static void Register(const char* name);
        };
}

namespace caspian
{
        class CScriptFunctionContainer : public MapContainer_DefaultCreate<CScriptFunction>, public Singleton<CScriptFunctionContainer>
        {
        protected:

                CScriptFunctionContainer();
        };
}

template <typename FunctionType>
template <FunctionType* Function>
void caspianprivate::CScriptRegisterImpl<FunctionType>::Register(const char* name)
{
    caspian::CScriptFunctionContainer::Get()->CreateFunction<FunctionType, Function>(name);
}

Wow that was quick, works great. Thank you very much, I've been stuck on this for days.
