Template class problem

[lni]

Hi,

I have 3 DLLs that use the same static variable from a template class instance, such as:

1st DLL:

template <typename T>
class Foo {
 
public:
 
  static Foo<T>& instance() {
    static Foo<T> obj;
    return obj;
  }
 
  void add( ... ) {
   ... 
  }
 
};

template <typename T>
class Foo {

public:

  static Foo<T>& instance() {
    static Foo<T> obj;
    return obj;
  }

  void add( ... ) {
   ... 
  }

};

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

In 2nd dll, I call

Foo<myClass>::instance().add( ... );

Foo<myClass>::instance().add( ... );

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

In 3nd dll, I also call

Foo<myClass>::instance().add( ... );

Foo<myClass>::instance().add( ... );

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

In linux things work fine. The Foo<myClass>::instance() contains the 2 items I "add"

However, in Windows, they don't know each other. It appears each has their own "instance". How can I export the instance so all DLLs share it?

Thanks!
