partial specialization of function template

[Alexander Stippler]

Hi,

the following code does not compile. Why and how can I reach the desired
effect?

template <int n, typename T>
double
norm(const T &t)
{ return 0.0; }

template <typename T>
double
norm<2,T>(const T &)
{ return 2.0; }

class A
{
};

int
main()
{
A a;
norm<2>(a);

return 0;
}

regards,
alex
