Nested templates with dependent scope

by

The compiler told you exactly what to do. Write typename before ptrModel<std::vector<Data> >::Type, like so:

 typedef typename ptrModel<std::vector<Data> >::Type Type;

The reason for this requirement is that the compiler doesn’t at this point know whether ptrModel<std::vector<Data> >::Type describes a member variable or a nested type. It can’t even figure that out by looking at the definition of ptrModel because there might be a specialization of ptrModel for std::vector<Data> somewhere else in the program that it hasn’t gotten to yet which changes which of these things ::Type refers to. So you need to tell it explicitly.

The name ptrModel<std::vector<Data> >::Type has a “dependent scope” because it is in a scope that depends on the instantiation of a template.
