I am frustrated by class specialization. i don't
think it helps me a lot.
suppose we have
template <class T>
class Talkative
{
T& t;
public:
Talkative( T& obj ) :
t( obj ) {
};
~Talkative(){};
void talk(){t.talk() ;};
void sing(){t.sing() ;};
void whisper(){t.whi sper();};
};
//through class specialization , i want:
// 1) inherit the sing() from the base template class;
// 2) specialization the talk();
// 3) and add a new function bark();
template <>
class Talkative<Dog>
{
}
then in the declaration of
template <> class Talkative<Dog>, i need to re-write
everthing(code) that are already in the templates.
from constructor, destructor, copy-structor,
sing(), class variables t.
what a pity? is there any way to avoid this?
i was so frustrated by this issue!
(class member specialization doesn't fit here, since
i need to add a new function bark(); )
If you have good thoughts, could you please share with me.
thanks!

why do you need specialization?

Don't mix specialization and inheritance, they are not (and AFAIKT
were never meant to be) the same thing.

Specialization gives specialization, not inheritance. If you want
inheritance, that's what you should use.

thanks for your all advice.
That is the key point: I tried to mix specialization and inheritance.
it is impossible to do it in one step. it has to be done in two steps,

Rob and all:
thanks for yor all advice. the point here is i tried to mix
inheritance and specialization.
It has to be done in two steps, not in one step. as Ron suggested.
the only overhead is that i need to rewrite constructor.
In com.lang.c++.mo derate newsgroup, Aaron Bentley comes with another
good idea:
template <class T, int specialize=true >
class Talkative
{
T& t;
public:
Talkative( T& obj ) :
t( obj ) {
};
~Talkative(){};
void talk(){t.talk() ;};
void sing(){t.sing() ;};
void whisper(){t.whi sper();};
};
template <> class Talkative<Dog, true>: public Talkative<Dog, false>
{
public:
bark() {}
};
this idea also needs rewrite constructor.

Hello,
I was experimenting with class templates and specializing member

I have a simple class C with 2 template member objects, and a function

specialization of print() for C<string, char> which is called

From what I've read in several places, it seems that explicit 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

I have a class template. Each of the instantiations implements a method
in the class template differently, so I (need?) to use template
speciaization.
My question is this, when writing the specialization, do I need to
implement only the method that is 'different', or do I need to implement
all the methods in the class template?

I am quoting this from Deitel's 5th edition on C++
Now the question is...
Why is there a separate specialization for char data type ??? Is it because the files normally are made up of characters and have nothing to do with ints and floats etc etc. Are there specializations for other data types as well or is it just for character data type only?
Detailed answers and links shall be appreciated alot.
Regards.
