I want to create a function overload to partially specialize a template class. How to make this code work?
template <typename T>
struct Foo;
template <typename Result, typename ... Args>
struct Foo<Result(Args...)>
{
Result Bar()
{
Result t;
return t;
}
};
template <typename ... Args>
void Foo<void(Args...)>::Bar()
{
// do nothing;
}
If it's just a single member function that should expose different behavior if Result=void
, then use tag-dispatching:
#include <type_traits>
template <typename T>
struct Foo;
template <typename Result, typename... Args>
struct Foo<Result(Args...)>
{
Result Bar()
{
return Bar(std::is_void<Result>{});
}
private:
Result Bar(std::false_type)
{
Result t;
// Do something
return t;
}
void Bar(std::true_type)
{
// Do nothing
}
};
Alternatively, partially-specialize the whole class:
template <typename... Args>
struct Foo<void(Args...)>
{
void Bar()
{
// Do nothing
}
};
