Stricter C++ Compiler - Template Changes
Go Up to Stricter C++ Compiler (Appmethod C++) Index
The C++ compiler no longer allows an explicit template without the 'template <>' prefix. Use the compiler switch -Vbe to allow this. The following example shows this:
template <class>
class foo {
foo();
};
foo<int>::foo();//Error
template<> foo<int>::foo();//OK
Also, the C++ compiler no longer allows explicit template specialization within a class. Use the compiler switch -Vbx to allow this. For example, the following generates an error:
struct S {};
struct SP
{
template <typename> void foo(const T &) {}
template <> void foo(const S &) {} // Error
};
template <> void SP::foo(const S &) {} //OK
