"typedef typename" equivalent in C++03

Good morning. I’m having problems with a library code I want to add to my project. I use Visual Studio 10, which is a bit old, with a C++ version even more. The library code follows the format:

struct MyStruct
    {
        private:
            typedef typename std::map< int, std::string > Type;

            Type m_Variable;
        public:
            typedef typename Type::const_iterator const_iterator;

            inline const_iterator begin() const { return m_Variable.begin(); }
            inline const_iterator end() const   { return m_Variable.end(); }

    };

When compiling, the following error appears:

error C2899: typename cannot be used Outside a template declaration

Since there is no possibility to update the language in this case, it would have some equivalent way to declare Container and const_iterator?

Thank you in advance.

    And why not update the VS?

  • The headache of doing this for all employees does not compensate for the effort. This considering that there would be compatibility problems.

    Does the headache of wearing something with 20 years of lag make up for it? So that’s OK.

  • Cara vc have to update the compiler, these are features of c++ 11/17, without updating the compiler there is no magic pass.

Guy even activating all the features of your compiler the visual studio 2010 has no support for typename, because it is a Feature of c++11.
