So here's my code:
And here's the errors the compiler produces:
So basically it acts as if the templates are not there before the definition, and I can't figure out why
Code:
//cartridge.h
#ifndef CARTRIDGE_INCLUDED
#define CARTRIDGE_INCLUDED
#include <cstdint>
#include <cstddef>
#include "type.h"
#include "../types.h"
#include "mbc.h"
#include "../util/smartArray.h"
