I have a problem in separating the implementations of an inner class while having partial specializations. Here is a sample code that illustrate my problem:
#include <type_traits>
template <typename T>
using enable_if_copyable = std::enable_if_t<std::is_copy_constructible<T>::value>;
template <typename T>
using enable_if_not_copyable = std::enable_if_t<!std::is_copy_constructible<T>::value>;
template <typename T, typename Enabled=void>
struct Foo;
template <typename T>
struct Foo<T, enable_if_copyable<T>>
{
struct Bar
{
Bar();
};
};
template <typename T>
struct Foo<T, enable_if_not_copyable<T>> {
struct Bar
{
Bar();
};
};
template <>
struct Foo<void,void>
{
struct Bar
{
Bar();
//Bar() {} This compiles, but it is not what I want.
};
};
template <typename T>
Foo<T, enable_if_copyable<T>>::Bar::Bar()
{}
template <typename T>
Foo<T, enable_if_not_copyable<T>>::Bar::Bar()
{}
template <>
Foo<void, void>::Bar::Bar() // this does not compile
{}
int main() {
Foo<int>::Bar b;
Foo<void>::Bar v;
}
Because of dependencies I have to implement the c'tors of Bar
outside their declaration.
My problem is that all compiler (Clang, gcc, Visual Studio 2015) complain about the implementation of Foo<void, void>::Bar::Bar() {}
outside of the declaration of class Foo<void, void>
. If I implement the c'tor of Bar
inside the specialization on void
, I don't have any problem.
Is this is not doable or is there one who could help me to spot my problem?
Many thanks in advance!
Try deleting the
template<>
; i mean:See this page for further details.
