The following program produces no warnings, no errors, but doesn't do
what I expect it to. I expect it to produce a warning or error. What
does the standard say about this and/or what should it say? Stroustrup
mentions it's an error (The C++ programming language, p343) but
doesn't say whether the standard says so or whether it's
implementation defined.
Both GCC and MSVC return "4 4 40", showing they instantiated the
template at the first oppurtunity and cached the instantiation.
#include <stdio.h>
template <typename T>
struct A {
T o;
};
int sizeofa = sizeof(A<int *>);
template <typename T>
struct A<T *{
T o[5];
};
int newsizeofa = sizeof(A<int *>);
int main() {
printf("%d, %d %d\n", sizeofa, sizeof(A<int *>),
sizeof(A<double *>));
}
Shouldn't this produce a warning? 5 5195

Nope, it's an error :-)

standard says [14.7.3.7]
"When writing a specialization, be careful about
its location; or to make it compile will be such
a trial as to kindle its self-immolation."
with sizeof(A<int*>) you have explicitly instantiated
A for int * . since it comes before the specialization
for pointer types the compiler does its best.
second sizeof(A<int*>) doesn't consider pointer
type specialization since A<int*has already been
instantiated.
since the first instantiation of A<double*is after
pointer type specialization, compiler uses the
specialized version.

Right. It does not need to trigger any diagnostic.

Correct, too.
From the standard [14.7.3.6]
If a template, a member template or the member of a class template is
explicitly specialized then that specialization shall be declared before
the first use of that specialization that would cause an implicit
instantiation to take place, in every translation unit in which such a use
occurs; no diagnostic is required.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^
The good news is that a compiler is allowed to flag this error:
ComeauTest.c", line 12: error: this partial specialization would have
been used to
instantiate class "A<int *>"
struct A<T *{
^

Unusually poetic for a standard.

Hi
Template partial specialization always seems like a fairly
straightforward concept - until I try to do it :).
I am trying to implement the input sequence type (from Stroustrup
section 18.3.1, 'Iseq'). I want the version for containers that he
gives, but also to provide a specialization for construction from a
pair<It,It> (eg because that is returned by equal_range()).

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've never understood the rationale of allowing partial, but not
explicit specialization for classes at non-namespace scope. Ie.:

struct B<int, float> {};
