Template Overloading

[Philip Lee Bridson]

Hi there,

I'm not sure the above is the correct term but is there anyway to overload a template class?

For example I want to do the below but it doesn't seem to like it...

template <typename T> class MyClass
{
     // etc...
};

template <typename T, typename T2> class MyClass
{
     // etc...
};

template <typename T1, typename T2, typename T3> class MyClass
{
     // etc...
};

I basically need a way to have the same class but allow it to take a variable amount of arguments and types. Is this possible at all? Is it easy to implement?

Thank you for any help that is offered - it is always appreciated.

Regards,

Phil.

You can't have variadic templates with current C++ but it's planned to be available on the next standards of the language.

You can however have default values for template parameters and specialize your class

something like this?

template <typename T1, typename T2 = int, typename T3 = float> class MyClass
{
     // etc...
};
