[I just posted this to comp.lang.c++.m oderated, but I'm impatient]
Hi All,
The simple test program at the end of this message defines a class template
foo with a member function bar implemented by delegating to a static member
function of a specialization of the class template bar_impl, nested within foo.
The template bar_impl is partially specialized outside of foo. My question is
which specialization should be selected: the primary template or the partial
specialization. Or does the program exhibit undefined behavior?
Here are the results for several recent compilers:
* partial specialization is selected - VC7.1-8.0(beta), Comeau 4.3.3, Intel
8.0 for Windows
* primary template is selected: GCC 3.2-3.4.1
* fails to compile: CodeWarrior 8.3-9.2(eval), DigitalMars 8.38n
Best Regards,
Jonathan

#include <iostream>
template<typen ame T> struct foo { template<typena me U, typename V> struct bar_impl { static void bar() { std:: cout << "unspecialized\ n"; } };
void bar() { typedef bar_impl<foo<T> , int> type; type::bar();
The above doesn't cause an implicit instantiation, since T isn't known
- "type" is dependent.
} };
template<typen ame T> template<typen ame V> struct foo<T>::bar_imp l<foo<T>, V> { static void bar() { std::cout << "specialized\n" ; } };
int main() { foo<int> f;
The above is the first use of the partial specialization that would
cause implicit instantiation to occur. The partial specialization has
been declared already.
f.bar(); }
By 14.5.4/1 it looks like it should compile and work as it does with
VC and EDG.

Thanks. That's what I was hoping.

Hello all,
I'm trying to get a grasp of the difference between specializing a function
template and overloading it. The example below has a primary template, a
specialization and an overload. Note that the overload is identical to the
specialization except, of course, for the missing "template <>".
I don't know if my questions will be a bit too broad or not, but I thought
I'd give it shot... When is overloading preferable to...

Hi group,
I have a problem with partial template specialization. In the code
below I have a template struct Music with one method, play(),
and three kinds of music, Jazz, Funk and Bach. When I specialize
Music<Bach>, I expect that the original play() method is available
in the specialization, but it is not. How can I fix this?

I started writing some code with the 2.0 beta compiler, and found out
quickly that specialization is not supported with generics.
For example, I want to do something like this:
class number ...
class integer : number ...
class real : number ...
class multiplier<_number> where _number : number ...
class multiplier<_number> where _number : integer ...

Hi
I'd like to know what the problem is with the following code. I've
tried compiling it with two compilers (VC++ 8.0, and Comeau online
compiler), and both failed to compile it, saying that there's no B::G()
function. It seems that the primary version of the CallFHelper template
class is selected for both A and B, though I think that the
specialization should be selected for B (after all,

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:
