does anybody knows if we can use template disambiguation techniques outside templates or not yet? i have no examples right now except for this one: operator<< <char,char_traits<char>,allocator<char> >(cout,e);//e is string convertale object. this example won't compile under g++ due to ambiguation giving the following error: myFile.cpp: In function ‘int main()’: myFile.cpp:65: error: ‘operator<<’ not defined myFile.cpp:65: error: expected primary-expression before ‘char’ myFile.cpp:65: error: expected `;' before ‘char’ and if i added template keyword like this: ::template operator<< <char,char_traits<char>,allocator<char> >(cout,e); myFile.cpp:65: error: ‘template’ (as a disambiguator) is only allowed within templates the point was to use the string conversion operator instead of defining a new operator<< for my class. But c++ doesn't allow to do conversion for function argument whose types are template parameter. Which in this case is the global operator<< defined for strings. I decided to us the full template syntax forcing conversion but i couldn't solve the disambiguation. Is there any solution that doesn't use explicit cast or wrapping the function call inside another template function?? -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/template-disambiguation-tf2427703.html#a6769055 Sent from the gcc - Help mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
