I'm porting some code over from Codewarrior and have run into a problem
with method templates. I have a class with a template method, which
passes the typename to another template method of another class object.
So in the code below, the mBuffer object has a template method Create
which is a template defined in the same way as this method. But Xcode
gives me a compile error:

    template <typename T>
    bool Setup() {
        if(!mBuffer) {
            if(!mBuffer.Create<T>()) { // error: parse error before `>' token
                return false;
            }
        }
        return true;
    }

This same code compiles fine in Codewarrior and I can't figure out what
I'm missing. It just seems not to like 'Create<T>'. I have tried
'Create<typename T>' but that doesn't work either.

Does anyone know the magic trick to getting Xcode to like this?

Thanks in advance,
