Question

I would like to specialize a template method for a class C that is itself
templated by an int parameter.

How do I do this?

template <int D=1>
class C {
    static std::string  foo () { stringstream ss; ss << D << endl; return ss.str();}    
};

template <class X>
void test() { cout << "This is a test" << endl;}

template <>
template <int D>
void test<C<D> > () {cout << C<D>::foo() << endl;}

The specialization for test() fails with “Too many template parameter lists in declaration of void test()”.

Answer 1

Function template partial specialization is not allowed. Do

template <int D>  
void test () {cout << C<D>::foo() << endl;}
