Templates - Function Partial Specialization?

Is it possible to specialize one function of a template (which accepts multiple parameters) based on one parameter only?

For example:

I declare a template class:

Code:

---

template<typename K, typename D>
class RBTree{
.
.
.
};

---

which has one function:

Code:

---

template <typename K, typename D>
bool RBTree<K,D>::LessThan(const K t1, const K t2){
  return t1 < t2;
}

---

and I try to specialize it for the first parameter:

Code:

---

template <typename D>
bool RBTree<char *, D>::LessThan(const char* t1,const char* t2){
  return strcmp(t1,t2) < 0;
}

---

but this fails with a compile error. Is what I want even possible? The only C++ text I have in front of me is pathetic at templates, and I can't find anything online that's doing this -- it's easy enough to specialize on ALL parameters; I only want to specialize on one parameter, and I only want to specialize two out of twenty-odd functions.

Partial template specialization does not apply to functions,be they member or not member.
As you mentioned,you can totally specialize member functions,but not partially specialize member functions.

Code:

---

template<typename K, typename D>
class RBTree{
  public:
    bool LessThan(const K t1, const K t2);
    bool LessThan(const char* t1,const char* t2); 
};

template <typename K, typename D>
bool RBTree<K,D>::LessThan(const K t1, const K t2){
  return t1 < t2;
}

template <typename K,typename D>
bool RBTree<K,D>::LessThan(const char* t1,const char* t2){
  return strcmp(t1,t2) < 0;
}

You are not obligate to use all the template "parameters"(look to code above). Does this solve your problem??? Hope yes...
