FIX: C2440 Expanding Template with a Pointer to a Nested Class

• Remove t(T()) from the initializer list and add t = T(); to the body of the constructor. This workaround assumes there is an operator= defined for class T.
• Change C<A::B *> c; to C<A::B&> c; or C<A::B> c:
• Change the definitions of class A and class B to that B is no longer nested in the definition of A.

Sample Code

/* Compile options needed: None */ 
template <class T> class C
{
public:
  C();
private:
  T t;
};

template <class T> C<T>::C() : t(T())  // error
{
}

class A
{
public:

   class B
   {
   };

};

main()
{

   C<A::B *> c;
   return 0;

}
