C++ template compilation error: expected primary-expression before ‘>’ token

Question

This code compiles and works as expected (it throws at runtime, but never mind):

#include 
#include

Answer 1

You need to do:

std::cout << pt.template get<std::string>("path");

Use template in the same situation as typename, except for template members instead of types.

(That is, since pt::get is a template member dependent on a template parameter, you need to tell the compiler it's a template.)
