Templates

Templates are supported in Cython. Though, for the sake of completeness, template meta-programming patterns don't wrap up correctly or fail to compile. This keeps getting better with every release, so take this comment with a pinch of salt.

C++ class templates work very well; we can implement a template called LinkedList as the following class:

cppclass LinkedList[T]:
        LinkedList ()
        void append (T)
        int getLength ()
...

Now, you can access the template type with the declaration called T. You can follow the rest of this code in chapter5/cpptemplates.
