Hi,

I am trying to manually call a constructor of a template argument, the
compiler returns “error C2039: ‘T’ : is not a member...”

How can I manually call the constructor of a template argument?

Please note that I cannot use the ‘new’ operator ( as long as it allocates
memory ), see the following code snnipet as an example of what I am trying to
do.

class HEADER {
LONG lStam;
HEADER() : lStam(0) {}
};

template< typename T >
class CMyTest
{
protected:
CMyTest();
~CMyTest();

typename T m_pObjects[0];
public:
static HRESULT CreateInstance(IN int iObjCount, OUT CMyTest** ppObj) {
 *ppObj = (CMyTest*)malloc(sizeof(CMyTest) + sizeof(T) * iObjCount);
 if(0 == *ppObj)
  return E_OUTOFMEMORY;
 (*ppObj)->CMyTest::CMyTest();// Works, calls the constructor
 for(int i = 0; i < iObjCount; i++)
  (*ppObj)->m_pObjects[0].T::T();// error C2039: 'T' : is not a member of
'HEADER'
}
};

int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
{
CMyTest<HEADER>* pTest;
CMyTest<HEADER>::CreateInstance(10, &pTest);
}

The above code doesn’t have any practical meaning, it’s only goal is to
demonstrate the problem I am describing here
