Hi, I don't know if this is a C++ or g++ problem, but this snippet
doesn't compile, but I think it should:
template <class T> void test(const char *par);
template <> void test<int>(const char *par = 0) {}
int main()
{
test<int>();
}
g++ 3.4.5 returns the following errors:
test.cpp:3: error: default arguments are only permitted for
function parameters
test.cpp:7: error: no matching function for call to `test()'
The first error message is unclear, but the code is illegal anyway.
You cannot declare a default parameter in a specialization. You must
declare it in the function template declaration, and only there.
