 |
|
I have a class temple which has to handle strings differently. Only a few
functions have to handle the string type differently. Is there anyway I can
do this without having two 'complete' classes, one generic and one for
strings only. I would just like to define the functions which are
different.
// Class Header example (there are other funcitons - this is just
// to show what I have done - and what I am trying to do.
tempate <class T>
class xList
{
public:
xList();
~xList();
T GetListVal();
void SetListVal( T );
private:
T *Ptr;
T Val;
};
tempate <>
class xList<std::string>
{
public:
xList();
~xList();
string GetListVal();
void SetListVal( string );
private:
string Val;
};
The only function that will be different is the 'string GetListVal()' - is
there anyway I can just define a special 'string' function for the
GetListVal() when the class is typed as string?
Thanks
Mike

You may provide an explicit specialisation of that function for 'string'
type instead of the whole class:
template<> string xList<string>::GetListVal() {
blah blah blah;
return somestring;
}
The rest of the class implementation will be picked by instantiating the
template members.

Thanks for response, that is exactly what I was looking for.
