template, implicit specialization?

Hi everyone, I've got this pice of code:

template <bool cond, typename A, typename B>
struct Select{
typedef A Result;
};

template <typename A, typename B>
struct Select<false, A, B>{
typedef B Result;
};

Select<false, char, float>::Result temp;

What is the second template supposed to be? An implicit specialization? It's
not an explicit one for sure.
If anyone could explain me what happens ...it would be great. thanx

A partial specialization.

What happens is that Select<false,ch ar,float>::Resu lt is float. For
such trivial example it is equivalent of:

float temp;

The usefulness of such contruct becomes more apparent in more complex
programs.

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? -X

Hello. I have written the following program and am curious why it prints "1" "2". What are the exact effects of explicitly providing function template parameters at the call? Is the second assign() function really a specialization of the first assign() or is it an assign() overload? Thank you. -- Marek

Actually i want 2 specialization, one for std::vector<T,Aconst & non const other for std::deque<T,Aconst & non const.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
