Hello,
Is there any way of specializing a templated function on a type which
is itself templated? Here's the simplest example of the problem I can
think of. Say I have written an implementation of the identity function
as follows,
template <class T> T identity(T x) { return x; }
and for some reason I want to specialize this function for the
following templated type, so that instead of returning the entire
structure, the identity function only returns the single value within
the structure.
template <class T>
struct Foo {
T foo;
};
Is there any way I can do something like the following?
template <>
template <class FooT> // Parameter for Foo; not legal C++ code.
Foo<T> identity(T x) { return x.foo; }
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Alex 2 1504

Just define an overloaded function:
--------------------------------------------------------------------
template <class T> T identity(T x) { return x; }
template <class T>
struct Foo {
T foo;
};
// the following is NOT a specialisation, it's an overloaded function
template<class T> T identity(Foo<T> x) { return x.foo; }
int main() {
Foo<int> x = { 42 };
identity(x);
}
--------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi all,
I have a templated class that derives from a non-templated abstract class.
How do I then cast a base class pointer to a <templated> derived class

Here's what I'm generally trying to achieve:
I'm building (trying to anyway) a serialization library. Here's my design:

Hello,
I was experimenting with class templates and specializing member
functions and came across a simple problem which I can't figure out.
I have a simple class C with 2 template member objects, and a function
print() that prints the value of these objects. I defined a
specialization of print() for C<string, char> which is called
correctly. Then I wanted...

Hi,
I would like to create a table (or vector) of pointers
to templated functions.
1. How do I declare a typedef of a pointer to a templated

For example, I have some functions that print out a

I have a class which needs to accumulate data. The way we get this data
is by calling a member function which returns float on a number of
different objects of different type (they are all the same type for a
given instance of the class, but different types for different instances.)
#include<set>
using namespace std;

I have been loving the templated datacolumns of the datagrid. I have stumbled onto a problem though that is beyond by knowledge and I was hoping someone here could jumpstart me. My templated columns work find as long as I pass in a dataset but if I pass in a collection of objects then they won't work unless I can cast the correct object and then fill in the column with the object. My current code looks like this:

Hello,
in my class TopTen I need to define three constructors while only the
last one, the most general in terms of templates, should be sufficient
in my opinion:
template <typename Tnum, short Trank, bool Tcont>
TopTen<Tnum,Trank,Tcont>::TopTen( const TopTen<Tnum,Trank,Tcont&
tten );

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
