g++ vs msvc++

[rbfish@hotmail.com]

Anyone can tell me g++ can NOT compile the simple program with error:
test.cpp:12: error: invalid explicit specialization before '>' token
test.cpp:12: error: explicit specialization in non-namespace scope
`class C'
test.cpp:14: error: invalid member function declaration

But MSVC++ can.

Thanks

#include "stdio.h"

class C
{
public:
template<int N>
void f()
{
printf("f<N=%d> ()\n", N);
}

template<>
void f<1>()
{
printf("f<1>()\ n");
}
};

int main()
{
C c;
c.f<1>();
c.f<2>();

return 0;
}

Because gcc is correct and Visual C++ is wrong.

The error says it all. You can't have an explicit specialization in a
class declaration. The explicit specialization must occur at namespace
scope:

template<>
void C::f<1>()
{
printf("f<1>()\ n");
}

You try to use the template -typename as argument!
This should not be possible!

C c;
c.f<int>(1);
c.f<double>(2);
print 1 as 1 and 2 as 2.0

Okay, I was wrong. I should grap a templates-book on
expression-templates /metaprogramming/etc.
Sorry
