standard not clear about member function partial specialization

Hi,

I've been looking into the standard for a clear statement on whether partial
specialization of member functions of class templates is allowed or not.

14.7.3/4 says that explicit specialization of a member function is legal,
but doesn't state that partial specialization is not.

One might argue that the standard indicates that partial specialization
implies a distinct template, and therefore defining a member function
requires the specialized class to be defined as well (explicitly
instantiated).
However, I don't find that very clear in the standard...

Did I just misinterpret some sections, or is this really somewhat blurry?

Thanks,

Hans

Hi! I was trying to find the solution to this problem, but I don't think I could quite come up with the correct keywords to find it, since I'm pretty sure it's been asked before. In short, here's the situation (ignore missing namespaces, etc, since I'm not cut-pasting this..) // a.h template <class B>

What happens if you just move the bar() function to be before the foo() function in both source files? (It's not like this was critical from the point of view of my original post.)
