Recently i did some compilation test that resulted in C2244 unable to
match function declaration and function definition.

example..

inside the hpp file.
namespace something {
template <typename T,
         template <typename ELEM, typename = std::allocator<ELEM> >
         class CONT
extern void select_sort(CONT<T>&, typename CONT<T>::iterator, const
typename CONT<T>::size_type&, const typename CONT<T>::size_type&);

}

inside the c file

template <typename T,
         template <typename ELEM, typename = std::allocator<ELEM> >
         class CONT
void Something::select_sort(CONT<T>& array, typename CONT<T>::iterator

^^^^^^^^^

something instead of Something?

yeah my bad.. i tried that with anoynomus namespace too..
hmm and without extern keyword

anonymous namespace won't work: it is specific to each compilation unit and
is the opposite of extern. C uses the keyword "static" for this, anon
namespace is the C++ way.

I still get c2244 error.
