Hello George, It was nice to meeting you at ROOT workshop. About auto_ptr and member function template, I made some progress. As far as the class template is interpreted and the member function templates are described within the template class definition, cint now correctly instantiates member function templates. There are 2 member function templates in auto_ptr. Cint5.14.31 can interpret this. template<class X> class auto_ptr { public: template<class Y> auto_ptr(const auto_ptr<Y>& y) { ... } template<class Y> auto_ptr& operator=(const auto_ptr<Y>& y) { ... } }; Now, if I understand correctly, you want to use precompiled auto_ptr and instantiate member function template afterwards, which means member function template is interpreted. Looking at the auto_ptr definition, I could not think of ways to do so. Problems are 1. Cint needs to know what member function template to instantiated within which precompiled class scope. This functionality is currently not there. I want to make sure that there is no showstopper before start coding. 2. It looks like there is an inevitable need for private member access. You need to refer to owns flag and set ptr member. There is no public interface to do so. 3. It is quite difficult, if not impossible, to interpret a constructor for a precompiled class. Well, maybe I need to examine your sample source code before going too far. I hope we can find some workaround. Thank you Masaharu Goto
