C++ template friend operator overloading

Viewed 21900

What is wrong with my code?

template<int E, int F>
class Float
{
 friend Float<E, F> operator+ (const Float<E, F> &lhs, const Float<E, F> &rhs);
};

G++ just keeps warning:

float.h:7: warning: friend declaration ‘Float<E, F> operator+(const Float<E, F>&, const Float<E, F>&)’ declares a non-template function

float.h:7: warning: (if this is not what you intended, make sure the function template has already been declared and add <> after the function name here) -Wno-non-template-friend disables this warning

I tried to add <> after the function name here as mentioned in the warning note, but g++ gives me an error.

I compiled the code with clang++, it was fine, no warning at all.
