Template Partial Specialization
Hello everyone,
About Template Partial Specialization,
http://www.cprogramming.com/tutorial...alization.html
sometimes in real case like below,
http://www.sgi.com/tech/stl/iterator_traits.html
there will be two definitions at the same time,
Code:
template <typename T>
class Foo {
}
template <typename T>
class Foo <T *>
{
}
In theory, compiler will match the latter one with first priority compared with the 1st one.
My question is, I tihnk for basic data types it is easy to match,
example,
when we pass Foo <int*>, the latter one is matched and T is int. But for arbitrary data types, like used data types, how could compiler judge whether a type is pointer (when the latter template class should be matched) or not a pointer (when the first template class should be matched).
thanks in advance,
George
