Thread: How do I get a set of functions to all use the same template?

I'm getting tired of writing

Code:

template <typename T>

everywhere.

Is the only solution to encapsulate all my desired functions in a templated class?

If you do that, then you'll have to do more typing, since each function will now start with

Code:

template <typename T>
classname<T>::

Make a macro.

Lol what does make a macro mean? Do I just define T as a type in a .hpp file or something?

You set up your text editor so that when you type some weird keystroke (like, I don't know, F6, or Ctrl-T) it turns that keystroke into your line you don't want to type.

Omg, why didn't I think to do this!?!?

I think we all thought you intended preprocessor macro; I can get behind the suggestion of using tools provided by text editors.

The idea of the preprocessor macro didn't even enter my head, or else I would definitely have been more specific.
