Three kinds of names can be used within a template definition:

- The name of the template itself, and names declared within the
|
| 2517 |
template itself.

- Names dependent on a *template-parameter*
|
| 2519 |
- Names from scopes which are visible within the template definition.
|
| 2520 |
|
| 2521 |
A name used in a template declaration or definition and that is
|
| 2522 |
dependent on a *template-parameter* is assumed not to name a type unless

the applicable name lookup finds a type name or the name is qualified by

### Explicit instantiation <a id="temp.explicit">[[temp.explicit]]</a>
|
| 4006 |
|
| 4007 |
A class, function, variable, or member template specialization can be
|
| 4008 |
explicitly instantiated from its template. A member function, member
|
| 4009 |
class or static data member of a class template can be explicitly
|
| 4010 |
instantiated from the member definition associated with its class
|
| 4011 |
-
template.
|
| 4012 |
-
function of a class template shall not use the `inline` or `constexpr`
|
| 4013 |
-
specifiers.
|
| 4014 |
|
| 4015 |
The syntax for explicit instantiation is:
|
| 4016 |
|
| 4017 |
``` bnf
|
| 4018 |
explicit-instantiation:
|
| 4019 |
-
|
| 4020 |
```
|
| 4021 |
|
| 4022 |
There are two forms of explicit instantiation: an explicit instantiation
|
| 4023 |
definition and an explicit instantiation declaration. An explicit
|
| 4024 |
instantiation declaration begins with the `extern` keyword.
|
| 4025 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| 4026 |
If the explicit instantiation is for a class or member class, the
|
| 4027 |
*elaborated-type-specifier* in the *declaration* shall include a
|
| 4028 |
-
*simple-template-id*

|
| 4034 |
the *unqualified-id* of the *qualified-id* must be a
|
| 4035 |
*template-id*. — *end note*]
|
| 4036 |
|
| 4037 |
If the explicit instantiation is for a member function, a member class
|
| 4038 |
or a static data member of a class template specialization, the name of
|
| 4039 |
the class template specialization in the *qualified-id* for the member
|
| 4040 |
name shall be a *simple-template-id*. If the explicit instantiation is
|
| 4041 |

for a variable, the *unqualified-id* in the
|

A *template-declaration* can appear only as a namespace scope or class

scope declaration. Its *declaration* shall not be an

|

[*Note 2*: That last component may be an *identifier*, an
|
| 89 |
*operator-function-id*, a *conversion-function-id*, or a
|
| 90 |
*literal-operator-id*. In a class template declaration, if the class

name is a *simple-template-id*, the declaration declares a class
|
| 92 |

template partial specialization [[temp.class.spec]]. — *end note*]
|
| 93 |
|
| 94 |
In a *template-declaration*, explicit specialization, or explicit
|
| 95 |
instantiation the *init-declarator-list* in the declaration shall
|
| 96 |
contain at most one declarator. When such a declaration is used to
|
| 97 |
declare a class template, no declarator is permitted.
|
| 98 |
|
| 99 |
+
A template name has linkage [[basic.link]]. Specializations (explicit or
|
| 100 |
+
implicit) of a template that has internal linkage are distinct from all
|
| 101 |
+
specializations in other translation units. A template, a template
|
| 102 |
+
explicit specialization [[temp.expl.spec]], and a class template partial
|
| 103 |
+
specialization shall not have C linkage. Use of a linkage specification
|
| 104 |
+
other than `"C"` or `"C++"` with any of these constructs is
|
| 105 |
+
conditionally-supported, with *implementation-defined* semantics.
|
| 106 |
+
Template definitions shall obey the one-definition rule
|
| 107 |
+
[[basic.def.odr]].
|
| 108 |
|
| 109 |
[*Note 3*: Default arguments for function templates and for member
|
| 110 |
functions of class templates are considered definitions for the purpose
|
| 111 |
+
of template instantiation [[temp.decls]] and must also obey the
|
| 112 |
one-definition rule. — *end note*]
|
| 113 |
|
| 114 |
A class template shall not have the same name as any other template,
|
| 115 |
class, function, variable, enumeration, enumerator, namespace, or type
|
| 116 |
+
in the same scope [[basic.scope]], except as specified in
|
| 117 |
[[temp.class.spec]]. Except that a function template can be overloaded
|
| 118 |
+
either by non-template functions [[dcl.fct]] with the same name or by
|
| 119 |
+
other function templates with the same name [[temp.over]], a template
|
| 120 |
name declared in namespace scope or in class scope shall be unique in
|
| 121 |
that scope.
|
| 122 |
|
| 123 |
+
An entity is *templated* if it is
|
| 124 |
|
| 125 |
- a template,
|
| 126 |
+
- an entity defined [[basic.def]] or created [[class.temporary]] in a
|
| 127 |
+
templated entity,
|
| 128 |
- a member of a templated entity,
|
| 129 |
- an enumerator for an enumeration that is a templated entity, or
|
| 130 |
+
- the closure type of a *lambda-expression* [[expr.prim.lambda.closure]]
|
| 131 |
+
appearing in the declaration of a templated entity.
|
|
|
|
| 132 |
|
| 133 |
[*Note 4*: A local class, a local variable, or a friend function
|
| 134 |
defined in a templated entity is a templated entity. — *end note*]
|
| 135 |
|
| 136 |
+
A *template-declaration* is written in terms of its template parameters.
|
| 137 |
+
The optional *requires-clause* following a *template-parameter-list*
|
| 138 |
+
allows the specification of constraints [[temp.constr.decl]] on template
|
| 139 |
+
arguments [[temp.arg]]. The *requires-clause* introduces the
|
| 140 |
+
*constraint-expression* that results from interpreting the
|
| 141 |
+
*constraint-logical-or-expression* as a *constraint-expression*. The
|
| 142 |
+
*constraint-logical-or-expression* of a *requires-clause* is an
|
| 143 |
+
unevaluated operand [[expr.context]].
|
| 144 |
+
|
| 145 |
+
[*Note 5*:
|
| 146 |
+
|
| 147 |
+
The expression in a *requires-clause* uses a restricted grammar to avoid
|
| 148 |
+
ambiguities. Parentheses can be used to specify arbitrary expressions in
|
| 149 |
+
a *requires-clause*.
|
| 150 |

A *type-constraint* `Q` that designates a concept `C` can be used to

constrain a contextually-determined type or template type parameter pack
|
| 257 |

`T` with a *constraint-expression* `E` defined as follows. If `Q` is of

the form `C<A₁, ⋯, Aₙ>`, then let `E'` be `C<T, A₁, ⋯, Aₙ>`. Otherwise,
|
| 259 |

let `E'` be `C<T>`. If `T` is not a pack, then `E` is `E'`, otherwise
|
| 260 |
+
`E` is `(E' && ...)`. This *constraint-expression* `E` is called the

*immediately-declared constraint* of `Q` for `T`. The concept designated

A *structural type* is one of the following:

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| 295 |
|
| 296 |

- a scalar type, or

| 299 |
+
- all base classes and non-static data members are public and
|
| 300 |
+
non-mutable and
|
| 301 |

structural types or (possibly multi-dimensional) array thereof.

An *id-expression* naming a non-type *template-parameter* of class type

`T` denotes a static storage duration object of type `const T`, known as

a *template parameter object*, whose value is that of the corresponding

template argument after it has been converted to the type of the

*template-parameter*. All such template parameters in the program of the

same type with the same value denote the same template parameter object.

A non-type template parameter declared with a type that contains a

placeholder type with a *type-constraint* introduces the
|
| 373 |

immediately-declared constraint of the *type-constraint* for the
|
| 374 |
+
invented type corresponding to the placeholder [[dcl.fct]].
|
| 375 |
+
|
| 376 |
+
A *default template-argument* is a *template-argument* [[temp.arg]]
|
| 377 |
specified after `=` in a *template-parameter*. A default
|
| 378 |
*template-argument* may be specified for any kind of
|
| 379 |
*template-parameter* (type, non-type, template) that is not a template
|
| 380 |
+
parameter pack [[temp.variadic]]. A default *template-argument* may be
|
| 381 |
+
specified in a template declaration. A default *template-argument* shall
|
| 382 |
+
not be specified in the *template-parameter-list*s of the definition of
|
| 383 |
+
a member of a class template that appears outside of the member’s class.
|
| 384 |
+
A default *template-argument* shall not be specified in a friend class
|
| 385 |
+
template declaration. If a friend function template declaration
|
| 386 |
+
specifies a default *template-argument*, that declaration shall be a
|
| 387 |
+
definition and shall be the only declaration of the function template in
|
| 388 |
+
the translation unit.
|
| 389 |
|
| 390 |
The set of default *template-argument*s available for use is obtained by
|
| 391 |
merging the default arguments from all prior declarations of the
|
| 392 |
+
template in the same way default function arguments are

| 393 |
+
[[dcl.fct.default]].

|
|
|
| 413 |
supplied or be a template parameter pack. If a *template-parameter* of a
|
| 414 |
primary class template, primary variable template, or alias template is
|
| 415 |
a template parameter pack, it shall be the last *template-parameter*. A
|
| 416 |
template parameter pack of a function template shall not be followed by
|
| 417 |
another template parameter unless that template parameter can be deduced
|
| 418 |
+
from the parameter-type-list [[dcl.fct]] of the function template or has
|
| 419 |
+
a default argument [[temp.deduct]]. A template parameter of a deduction
|
| 420 |
+
guide template [[temp.deduct.guide]] that does not have a default
|
| 421 |
+
argument shall be deducible from the parameter-type-list of the
|
| 422 |
deduction guide template.

[*Example 7*:
|
| 425 |

// U can be neither deduced from the parameter-type-list nor specified
|
|
|
|
| 434 |
— *end example*]
|
| 435 |
|
| 436 |
A *template-parameter* shall not be given default arguments by two
|
| 437 |
different declarations in the same scope.
|
| 438 |
|
| 439 |
+
[*Example 8*:
|
| 440 |

template<class T = int> class X { ... }; // error
|
| 444 |

|
|
|
|
| 447 |
|
| 448 |
When parsing a default *template-argument* for a non-type
|
| 449 |
*template-parameter*, the first non-nested `>` is taken as the end of
|
| 450 |
the *template-parameter-list* rather than a greater-than operator.

[*Example 9*:

|
| 454 |
``` cpp

template<int i = 3 > 4 > // syntax error
|
| 456 |
class X { ... };

|
|
|
| 464 |
A *template-parameter* of a template *template-parameter* is permitted
|
| 465 |
to have a default *template-argument*. When such default arguments are
|
| 466 |
specified, they apply to the template *template-parameter* in the scope
|
| 467 |
of the template *template-parameter*.

If a *template-parameter* is a *type-parameter* with an ellipsis prior
|
| 487 |
to its optional *identifier* or is a *parameter-declaration* that

parameter pack [[temp.variadic]]. A template parameter pack that is a
|
| 490 |
+
*parameter-declaration* whose type contains one or more unexpanded packs

unexpanded packs is a pack expansion. A type parameter pack with a

## Names of template specializations <a id="temp.names">[[temp.names]]</a>
|
| 520 |

A template specialization [[temp.spec]] can be referred to by a
|

[*Note 1*: The name lookup rules [[basic.lookup]] are used to associate
|
| 555 |
+
the use of a name with a template declaration; that is, to identify a
|
| 556 |
+
name as a *template-name*. — *end note*]
|
| 557 |
|
| 558 |
For a *template-name* to be explicitly qualified by the template
|
| 559 |
+
arguments, the name must be considered to refer to a template.
|
| 560 |
+
|
| 561 |
+
[*Note 2*: Whether a name actually refers to a template cannot be known
|
| 562 |
+
in some cases until after argument dependent lookup is done
|
| 563 |
+
[[basic.lookup.argdep]]. — *end note*]
|
| 564 |
+
|
| 565 |
+
A name is considered to refer to a template if name lookup finds a
|
| 566 |
+
*template-name* or an overload set that contains a function template. A
|
| 567 |
+
name is also considered to refer to a template if it is an
|
| 568 |
+
*unqualified-id* followed by a `<` and name lookup either finds one or
|
| 569 |
+
more functions or finds nothing.
|
| 570 |
+
|
| 571 |
+
When a name is considered to be a *template-name*, and it is followed by
|
| 572 |
+
a `<`, the `<` is always taken as the delimiter of a
|
| 573 |
+
*template-argument-list* and never as the less-than operator. When
|
| 574 |
+
parsing a *template-argument-list*, the first non-nested `>`[^2] is
|
| 575 |
+
taken as the ending delimiter rather than a greater-than operator.
|
| 576 |
+
Similarly, the first non-nested `>{>}` is treated as two consecutive but
|
| 577 |
+
distinct `>` tokens, the first of which is taken as the end of the
|
| 578 |
+
*template-argument-list* and completes the *template-id*.
|
| 579 |
+
|
| 580 |
+
[*Note 3*: The second `>` token produced by this replacement rule may
|
| 581 |
terminate an enclosing *template-id* construct or it may be part of a
|
| 582 |
+
different construct (e.g., a cast). — *end note*]

The keyword `template` is said to appear at the top level in a

*qualified-id* if it appears outside of a *template-argument-list* or

*decltype-specifier*. In a *qualified-id* of a *declarator-id* or in a

| 603 |
+
*qualified-id* formed by a *class-head-name* [[class.pre]] or
|
| 604 |
+
*enum-head-name* [[dcl.enum]], the keyword `template` shall not appear
|
| 605 |

at the top level. In a *qualified-id* used as the name in a

*typename-specifier* [[temp.res]], *elaborated-type-specifier*
|
| 607 |
+
[[dcl.type.elab]], *using-declaration* [[namespace.udecl]], or
|
| 608 |
+
*class-or-decltype* [[class.derived]], an optional keyword `template`
|
| 609 |
+
appearing at the top level is ignored. In these contexts, a `<` token is
|
| 610 |
+
always assumed to introduce a *template-argument-list*. In all other
|
| 611 |
+
contexts, when naming a template specialization of a member of an
|
| 612 |
+
unknown specialization [[temp.dep.type]], the member template name shall
|
| 613 |

be prefixed by the keyword `template`.

## Template arguments <a id="temp.arg">[[temp.arg]]</a>
|
| 765 |
|
| 766 |
There are three forms of *template-argument*, corresponding to the three
|
| 767 |
forms of *template-parameter*: type, non-type and template. The type and
|
| 768 |
form of each *template-argument* specified in a *template-id* shall
|
| 769 |
match the type and form specified for the corresponding parameter
|
| 770 |
declared by the template in its *template-parameter-list*. When the
|
| 771 |
+
parameter declared by the template is a template parameter pack
|
| 772 |
+
[[temp.variadic]], it will correspond to zero or more
|
| 773 |
*template-argument*s.
|
| 774 |
|
| 775 |
[*Example 1*:
|
| 776 |
|
| 777 |
``` cpp
|
|
|
|
| 856 |
template <class U> class B {
|
| 857 |
private:
|
| 858 |
struct S { ... };
|
| 859 |
};
|
| 860 |
|
| 861 |

A<B> b; // error: A has no access to B::S

An explicit destructor call [[class.dtor]] for an object that has a type
|
| 884 |
+
that is a class template specialization may explicitly specify the
|
| 885 |
*template-argument*s.
|
| 886 |
|
| 887 |
[*Example 6*:
|
| 888 |
|
| 889 |
``` cpp
|
|
|
|
| 900 |
|
| 901 |
If the use of a *template-argument* gives rise to an ill-formed
|
| 902 |
construct in the instantiation of a template specialization, the program
|
| 903 |
is ill-formed.
|
| 904 |
|
| 905 |
+
When name lookup for the name in a *template-id* finds an overload set,
|
| 906 |
both non-template functions in the overload set and function templates
|
| 907 |
in the overload set for which the *template-argument*s do not match the
|
| 908 |
*template-parameter*s are ignored. If none of the function templates
|
| 909 |
have matching *template-parameter*s, the program is ill-formed.
|
| 910 |
|
| 911 |
When a *simple-template-id* does not name a function, a default
|
| 912 |
+
*template-argument* is implicitly instantiated [[temp.inst]] when the
|
| 913 |
value of that default argument is needed.
|
| 914 |
|
| 915 |
[*Example 7*:
|
| 916 |
|
| 917 |
``` cpp
|
|
|

`S<bool, int>*`.

| 964 |
+
placeholder type [[dcl.spec.auto]] or a placeholder for a deduced class
|

A *template-argument* matches a template *template-parameter* `P` when

`P` is at least as specialized as the *template-argument* `A`. In this
|
| 1119 |

| 1121 |
+
matches `P` if each of `A`’s template parameters matches the
|
| 1122 |
+
corresponding template parameter in the *template-head* of `P`. Two
|
| 1123 |

template parameters match if they are of the same kind (type, non-type,

A template *template-parameter* `P` is at least as specialized as a
|
| 1199 |
template *template-argument* `A` if, given the following rewrite to two
|
| 1200 |
function templates, the function template corresponding to `P` is at
|
| 1201 |
least as specialized as the function template corresponding to `A`
|
| 1202 |
+
according to the partial ordering rules for function templates
|
| 1203 |
+
[[temp.func.order]]. Given an invented class template `X` with the
|
| 1204 |
+
*template-head* of `A` (including default arguments and
|
| 1205 |
+
*requires-clause*, if any):
|
| 1206 |
|
| 1207 |
+
- Each of the two function templates has the same template parameters
|
| 1208 |
+
and *requires-clause* (if any), respectively, as `P` or `A`.
|
| 1209 |
- Each function template has a single function parameter whose type is a
|
| 1210 |
specialization of `X` with template arguments corresponding to the
|
| 1211 |
template parameters from the respective function template where, for
|
| 1212 |
+
each template parameter `PP` in the *template-head* of the function
|
| 1213 |
+
template, a corresponding template argument `AA` is formed. If `PP`
|
| 1214 |
+
declares a template parameter pack, then `AA` is the pack expansion
|
| 1215 |
+
`PP...` [[temp.variadic]]; otherwise, `AA` is the *id-expression*
|
| 1216 |
`PP`.
|
| 1217 |
|
| 1218 |
If the rewrite produces an invalid type, then `P` is not at least as
|
| 1219 |
specialized as `A`.

## Template constraints <a id="temp.constr">[[temp.constr]]</a>
|
| 1222 |
+
|
| 1223 |
+
[*Note 1*: This subclause defines the meaning of constraints on
|
| 1224 |
+
template arguments. The abstract syntax and satisfaction rules are
|
| 1225 |
+
defined in [[temp.constr.constr]]. Constraints are associated with
|
| 1226 |
+
declarations in [[temp.constr.decl]]. Declarations are partially ordered
|
| 1227 |
+
by their associated constraints [[temp.constr.order]]. — *end note*]
|
| 1228 |
+
|
| 1229 |
+
### Constraints <a id="temp.constr.constr">[[temp.constr.constr]]</a>
|
| 1230 |
+
|
| 1231 |
+
A *constraint* is a sequence of logical operations and operands that
|
| 1232 |
+
specifies requirements on template arguments. The operands of a logical
|
| 1233 |
+
operation are constraints. There are three different kinds of
|
| 1234 |
+
constraints:
|
| 1235 |
+
|
| 1236 |
+
- conjunctions [[temp.constr.op]],
|
| 1237 |
+
- disjunctions [[temp.constr.op]], and
|
| 1238 |
+
- atomic constraints [[temp.constr.atomic]].
|
| 1239 |
+
|
| 1240 |
+
In order for a constrained template to be instantiated [[temp.spec]],
|
| 1241 |
+
its associated constraints [[temp.constr.decl]] shall be satisfied as
|
| 1242 |
+
described in the following subclauses.
|
| 1243 |
+
|
| 1244 |
+
[*Note 1*: Forming the name of a specialization of a class template, a
|
| 1245 |
+
variable template, or an alias template [[temp.names]] requires the
|
| 1246 |
+
satisfaction of its constraints. Overload resolution
|
| 1247 |
+
[[over.match.viable]] requires the satisfaction of constraints on
|
| 1248 |
+
functions and function templates. — *end note*]
|
| 1249 |
+
|
| 1250 |
+
#### Logical operations <a id="temp.constr.op">[[temp.constr.op]]</a>
|
| 1251 |
+
|
| 1252 |
+
There are two binary logical operations on constraints: conjunction and
|
| 1253 |
+
disjunction.
|
| 1254 |
+
|
| 1255 |
+
[*Note 1*: These logical operations have no corresponding C++ syntax.
|
| 1256 |
+
For the purpose of exposition, conjunction is spelled using the symbol ∧
|
| 1257 |
+
and disjunction is spelled using the symbol ∨. The operands of these
|
| 1258 |
+
operations are called the left and right operands. In the constraint
|
| 1259 |
+
A ∧ B, A is the left operand, and B is the right operand. — *end note*]
|
| 1260 |
+
|
| 1261 |
+
A *conjunction* is a constraint taking two operands. To determine if a
|
| 1262 |
+
conjunction is *satisfied*, the satisfaction of the first operand is
|
| 1263 |
+
checked. If that is not satisfied, the conjunction is not satisfied.
|
| 1264 |
+
Otherwise, the conjunction is satisfied if and only if the second
|
| 1265 |
+
operand is satisfied.
|
| 1266 |
+
|
| 1267 |
+
A *disjunction* is a constraint taking two operands. To determine if a
|
| 1268 |
+
disjunction is *satisfied*, the satisfaction of the first operand is
|
| 1269 |
+
checked. If that is satisfied, the disjunction is satisfied. Otherwise,
|
| 1270 |
+
the disjunction is satisfied if and only if the second operand is
|
| 1271 |
+
satisfied.
|
| 1272 |
+
|
| 1273 |
+
[*Example 1*:
|
| 1274 |
+
|
| 1275 |
+
``` cpp
|
| 1276 |
+
template<typename T>
|
| 1277 |
+
constexpr bool get_value() { return T::value; }
|
| 1278 |
+
|
| 1279 |
+
template<typename T>
|
| 1280 |
+
requires (sizeof(T) > 1) && (get_value<T>())
|
| 1281 |
+
void f(T); // has associated constraint sizeof(T) > 1 ∧ get_value<T>()
|
| 1282 |
+
|
| 1283 |
+
void f(int);
|
| 1284 |
+
|
| 1285 |
+
f('a'); // OK: calls f(int)
|
| 1286 |
+
```
|
| 1287 |
+
|
| 1288 |
+
In the satisfaction of the associated constraints [[temp.constr.decl]]
|
| 1289 |
+
of `f`, the constraint `sizeof(char) > 1` is not satisfied; the second
|
| 1290 |
+
operand is not checked for satisfaction.
|
| 1291 |
+
|
| 1292 |
+
— *end example*]
|
| 1293 |
+
|
| 1294 |
+
[*Note 2*:
|
| 1295 |
+
|
| 1296 |
+
A logical negation expression [[expr.unary.op]] is an atomic constraint;
|
| 1297 |
+
the negation operator is not treated as a logical operation on
|
| 1298 |
+
constraints. As a result, distinct negation *constraint-expression*s
|
| 1299 |
+
that are equivalent under [[temp.over.link]] do not subsume one another
|
| 1300 |
+
under [[temp.constr.order]]. Furthermore, if substitution to determine
|
| 1301 |
+
whether an atomic constraint is satisfied [[temp.constr.atomic]]
|
| 1302 |
+
encounters a substitution failure, the constraint is not satisfied,
|
| 1303 |
+
regardless of the presence of a negation operator.
|
| 1304 |
+
|
| 1305 |
+
[*Example 2*:
|
| 1306 |
+
|
| 1307 |
+
``` cpp
|
| 1308 |
+
template <class T> concept sad = false;
|
| 1309 |
+
|
| 1310 |
+
template <class T> int f1(T) requires (!sad<T>);
|
| 1311 |
+
template <class T> int f1(T) requires (!sad<T>) && true;
|
| 1312 |
+
int i1 = f1(42); // ambiguous, !sad<T> atomic constraint expressions[temp.constr.atomic]
|
| 1313 |
+
// are not formed from the same expression
|
| 1314 |
+
|
| 1315 |
+
template <class T> concept not_sad = !sad<T>;
|
| 1316 |
+
template <class T> int f2(T) requires not_sad<T>;
|
| 1317 |
+
template <class T> int f2(T) requires not_sad<T> && true;
|
| 1318 |
+
int i2 = f2(42); // OK, !sad<T> atomic constraint expressions both come from not_sad
|
| 1319 |
+
|
| 1320 |
+
template <class T> int f3(T) requires (!sad<typename T::type>);
|
| 1321 |
+
int i3 = f3(42); // error: associated constraints not satisfied due to substitution failure
|
| 1322 |
+
|
| 1323 |
+
template <class T> concept sad_nested_type = sad<typename T::type>;
|
| 1324 |
+
template <class T> int f4(T) requires (!sad_nested_type<T>);
|
| 1325 |
+
int i4 = f4(42); // OK, substitution failure contained within sad_nested_type
|
| 1326 |
+
```
|
| 1327 |
+
|
| 1328 |
+
Here, `requires (!sad<typename T::type>)` requires that there is a
|
| 1329 |
+
nested `type` that is not `sad`, whereas
|
| 1330 |
+
`requires (!sad_nested_type<T>)` requires that there is no `sad` nested
|
| 1331 |
+
`type`.

#### Atomic constraints <a id="temp.constr.atomic">[[temp.constr.atomic]]</a>
|
| 1338 |
+
|
| 1339 |
+
An *atomic constraint* is formed from an expression `E` and a mapping
|
| 1340 |
+
from the template parameters that appear within `E` to template
|
| 1341 |
+
arguments that are formed via substitution during constraint
|
| 1342 |
+
normalization in the declaration of a constrained entity (and,
|
| 1343 |
+
therefore, can involve the unsubstituted template parameters of the
|
| 1344 |
+
constrained entity), called the *parameter mapping*
|
| 1345 |
+
[[temp.constr.decl]].
|
| 1346 |
+
|
| 1347 |
+
[*Note 1*: Atomic constraints are formed by constraint normalization
|
| 1348 |
+
[[temp.constr.normal]]. `E` is never a logical expression
|
| 1349 |
+
[[expr.log.and]] nor a logical expression
|
| 1350 |
+
[[expr.log.or]]. — *end note*]
|
| 1351 |
+
|
| 1352 |
+
Two atomic constraints, e₁ and e₂, are *identical* if they are formed
|
| 1353 |
+
from the same appearance of the same *expression* and if, given a
|
| 1354 |
+
hypothetical template A whose *template-parameter-list* consists of
|
| 1355 |
+
*template-parameter*s corresponding and equivalent [[temp.over.link]] to
|
| 1356 |
+
those mapped by the parameter mappings of the expression, a
|
| 1357 |
+
*template-id* naming A whose *template-argument*s are the targets of the
|
| 1358 |
+
parameter mapping of e₁ is the same [[temp.type]] as a *template-id*
|
| 1359 |
+
naming A whose *template-argument*s are the targets of the parameter
|
| 1360 |
+
mapping of e₂.
|
| 1361 |
+
|
| 1362 |
+
[*Note 2*:
|
| 1363 |
+
|
| 1364 |
+
The comparison of parameter mappings of atomic constraints operates in a
|
| 1365 |
+
manner similar to that of declaration matching with alias template
|
| 1366 |
+
substitution [[temp.alias]].
|
| 1367 |

template <unsigned N> struct WrapN;

This similarity includes the situation where a program is ill-formed, no
|
| 1397 |
+
diagnostic required, when the meaning of the program depends on whether
|
| 1398 |
+
two constructs are equivalent, and they are functionally equivalent but
|
| 1399 |
+
not equivalent.

+
To determine if an atomic constraint is *satisfied*, the parameter
|
| 1420 |
+
mapping and template arguments are first substituted into its
|
| 1421 |
+
expression. If substitution results in an invalid type or expression,
|
| 1422 |
+
the constraint is not satisfied. Otherwise, the lvalue-to-rvalue
|
| 1423 |
+
conversion [[conv.lval]] is performed if necessary, and `E` shall be a
|
| 1424 |
+
constant expression of type `bool`. The constraint is satisfied if and
|
| 1425 |
+
only if evaluation of `E` results in `true`. If, at different points in
|
| 1426 |
+
the program, the satisfaction result is different for identical atomic
|
| 1427 |
+
constraints and template arguments, the program is ill-formed, no
|
| 1428 |
+
diagnostic required.

### Constrained declarations <a id="temp.constr.decl">[[temp.constr.decl]]</a>
|
| 1453 |
+
|
| 1454 |
+
A template declaration [[temp.pre]] or templated function declaration
|
| 1455 |
+
[[dcl.fct]] can be constrained by the use of a *requires-clause*. This
|
| 1456 |
+
allows the specification of constraints for that declaration as an
|
| 1457 |
+
expression:
|
| 1458 |
+
|
| 1459 |
+
``` bnf
|
| 1460 |
+
constraint-expression:
|
| 1461 |
+
logical-or-expression
|
| 1462 |
+
```
|
| 1463 |
+
|
| 1464 |
+
Constraints can also be associated with a declaration through the use of
|
| 1465 |
+
*type-constraint*s in a *template-parameter-list* or
|
| 1466 |
+
parameter-type-list. Each of these forms introduces additional
|
| 1467 |
+
*constraint-expression*s that are used to constrain the declaration.
|
| 1468 |
+
|
| 1469 |
+
A declaration’s *associated constraints* are defined as follows:
|
| 1470 |
+
|
| 1471 |
+
- If there are no introduced *constraint-expression*s, the declaration
|
| 1472 |
+
has no associated constraints.
|
| 1473 |
+
- Otherwise, if there is a single introduced *constraint-expression*,
|
| 1474 |
+
the associated constraints are the normal form [[temp.constr.normal]]
|
| 1475 |
+
of that expression.
|
| 1476 |
+
- Otherwise, the associated constraints are the normal form of a logical
|
| 1477 |
+
expression [[expr.log.and]] whose operands are in the following order:
|
| 1478 |
+
- the *constraint-expression* introduced by each *type-constraint*
|
| 1479 |
+
[[temp.param]] in the declaration’s *template-parameter-list*, in
|
| 1480 |
+
order of appearance, and
|
| 1481 |
+
- the *constraint-expression* introduced by a *requires-clause*
|
| 1482 |
+
following a *template-parameter-list* [[temp.pre]], and
|
| 1483 |
+
- the *constraint-expression* introduced by each *type-constraint* in
|
| 1484 |
+
the parameter-type-list of a function declaration, and
|
| 1485 |
+
- the *constraint-expression* introduced by a trailing
|
| 1486 |
+
*requires-clause* [[dcl.decl]] of a function declaration
|
| 1487 |
+
[[dcl.fct]].
|
| 1488 |
+
|
| 1489 |
+
The formation of the associated constraints establishes the order in
|
| 1490 |
+
which constraints are instantiated when checking for satisfaction
|
| 1491 |
+
[[temp.constr.constr]].
|
| 1492 |
+
|
| 1493 |
+
[*Example 1*:
|
| 1494 |
+
|
| 1495 |
+
``` cpp
|
| 1496 |
+
template<typename T> concept C = true;
|
| 1497 |
+
|
| 1498 |
+
template<C T> void f1(T);
|
| 1499 |
+
template<typename T> requires C<T> void f2(T);
|
| 1500 |
+
template<typename T> void f3(T) requires C<T>;
|
| 1501 |
+
```
|
| 1502 |
+
|
| 1503 |
+
The functions `f1`, `f2`, and `f3` have the associated constraint
|
| 1504 |
+
`C<T>`.
|
| 1505 |
+
|
| 1506 |
+
``` cpp
|
| 1507 |
+
template<typename T> concept C1 = true;
|
| 1508 |
+
template<typename T> concept C2 = sizeof(T) > 0;
|
| 1509 |
+
|
| 1510 |
+
template<C1 T> void f4(T) requires C2<T>;
|
| 1511 |
+
template<typename T> requires C1<T> && C2<T> void f5(T);
|
| 1512 |
+
```
|
| 1513 |
+
|
| 1514 |
+
The associated constraints of `f4` and `f5` are `C1<T> ∧ C2<T>`.
|
| 1515 |
+
|
| 1516 |
+
``` cpp
|

|

+
```
|
| 1520 |
+
|
| 1521 |

The associated constraints of `f6` are `C1<T> ∧ C2<T>`, and those of
|

`f7` are `C2<T> ∧ C1<T>`.

When determining whether a given introduced *constraint-expression* C₁
|
| 1527 |
+
of a declaration in an instantiated specialization of a templated class
|
| 1528 |
+
is equivalent [[temp.over.link]] to the corresponding
|
| 1529 |
+
*constraint-expression* C₂ of a declaration outside the class body, C₁
|
| 1530 |
+
is instantiated. If the instantiation results in an invalid expression,
|
| 1531 |
+
the *constraint-expression*s are not equivalent.
|
| 1532 |
+
|
| 1533 |
+
[*Note 1*: This can happen when determining which member template is
|
| 1534 |
+
specialized by an explicit specialization declaration. — *end note*]
|
| 1535 |
+
|
| 1536 |
+
[*Example 2*:
|
| 1537 |
+
|
| 1538 |
+
``` cpp
|
| 1539 |
+
template <class T> concept C = true;
|
| 1540 |
+
template <class T> struct A {
|
| 1541 |
+
template <class U> U f(U) requires C<typename T::type>; // #1
|
| 1542 |
+
template <class U> U f(U) requires C<T>; // #2
|
| 1543 |

};
|
| 1544 |
+
|
| 1545 |

template <> template <class U>
|
| 1546 |

U A<int>::f(U u) requires C<int> { return u; } // OK, specializes #2
|
| 1547 |
+
```
|
| 1548 |
+
|
| 1549 |
+
Substituting `int` for `T` in `C<typename T::type>` produces an invalid
|
| 1550 |
+
expression, so the specialization does not match \#1. Substituting `int`
|
| 1551 |
+
for `T` in `C<T>` produces `C<int>`, which is equivalent to the

### Constraint normalization <a id="temp.constr.normal">[[temp.constr.normal]]</a>
|
| 1557 |
+
|
| 1558 |
+
The *normal form* of an *expression* `E` is a constraint
|
| 1559 |
+
[[temp.constr.constr]] that is defined as follows:
|
| 1560 |
+
|
| 1561 |
+
- The normal form of an expression `( E )` is the normal form of `E`.
|
| 1562 |
+
- The normal form of an expression `E1 || E2` is the disjunction
|
| 1563 |
+
[[temp.constr.op]] of the normal forms of `E1` and `E2`.
|
| 1564 |
+
- The normal form of an expression `E1 && E2` is the conjunction of the
|
| 1565 |
+
normal forms of `E1` and `E2`.
|
| 1566 |
+
- The normal form of a concept-id `C<A₁, A₂, ..., Aₙ>` is the normal
|
| 1567 |
+
form of the *constraint-expression* of `C`, after substituting
|
| 1568 |
+
`A₁, A₂, ..., Aₙ` for `C`'s respective template parameters in the
|
| 1569 |
+
parameter mappings in each atomic constraint. If any such substitution
|
| 1570 |
+
results in an invalid type or expression, the program is ill-formed;
|
| 1571 |
+
no diagnostic is required.
|
| 1572 |
+
\[*Example 1*:
|
| 1573 |
+
``` cpp
|
| 1574 |
+
template<typename T> concept A = T::value || true;
|
| 1575 |
+
template<typename U> concept B = A<U*>;
|
| 1576 |
+
template<typename V> concept C = B<V&>;
|
| 1577 |
+
```
|
| 1578 |
+
|
| 1579 |
+
Normalization of `B`'s *constraint-expression* is valid and results in
|
| 1580 |
+
`T::value` (with the mapping `T` ↦ `U*`) ∨ `true` (with an empty
|
| 1581 |
+
mapping), despite the expression `T::value` being ill-formed for a
|
| 1582 |
+
pointer type `T`. Normalization of `C`'s *constraint-expression*
|
| 1583 |
+
results in the program being ill-formed, because it would form the
|
| 1584 |
+
invalid type `V&*` in the parameter mapping.
|
| 1585 |
+
— *end example*]
|
| 1586 |
+
- The normal form of any other expression `E` is the atomic constraint
|
| 1587 |
+
whose expression is `E` and whose parameter mapping is the identity
|
| 1588 |
+
mapping.
|
| 1589 |
+
|
| 1590 |
+
The process of obtaining the normal form of a *constraint-expression* is
|
| 1591 |
+
called *normalization*.
|
| 1592 |
+
|
| 1593 |
+
[*Note 1*: Normalization of *constraint-expression*s is performed when
|
| 1594 |
+
determining the associated constraints [[temp.constr.constr]] of a
|
| 1595 |
+
declaration and when evaluating the value of an *id-expression* that
|
| 1596 |
+
names a concept specialization [[expr.prim.id]]. — *end note*]
|
| 1597 |
+
|
| 1598 |
+
[*Example 2*:
|
| 1599 |
+
|
| 1600 |
+
``` cpp
|
| 1601 |
+
template<typename T> concept C1 = sizeof(T) == 1;
|
| 1602 |
+
template<typename T> concept C2 = C1<T> && 1 == 2;
|
| 1603 |
+
template<typename T> concept C3 = requires { typename T::type; };
|
| 1604 |
+
template<typename T> concept C4 = requires (T x) { ++x; }
|
| 1605 |
+
|
| 1606 |
+
template<C2 U> void f1(U); // #1
|
| 1607 |
+
template<C3 U> void f2(U); // #2
|
| 1608 |
+
template<C4 U> void f3(U); // #3
|
| 1609 |
+
```
|
| 1610 |
+
|
| 1611 |
+
The associated constraints of \#1 are `sizeof(T) == 1` (with mapping
|
| 1612 |
+
`T` ↦ `U`) ∧ `1 == 2`.
|
| 1613 |
+
The associated constraints of \#2 are `requires { typename T::type; }`
|
| 1614 |
+
(with mapping `T` ↦ `U`).
|
| 1615 |
+
The associated constraints of \#3 are `requires (T x) { ++x; }` (with
|
| 1616 |

mapping `T` ↦ `U`).

### Partial ordering by constraints <a id="temp.constr.order">[[temp.constr.order]]</a>

|
| 1622 |

A constraint P *subsumes* a constraint Q if and only if, for every
|
| 1623 |
+
disjunctive clause Pᵢ in the disjunctive normal form[^4] of P, Pᵢ
|
| 1624 |
+
subsumes every conjunctive clause Qⱼ in the conjunctive normal form[^5]
|
| 1625 |
+
of Q, where
|
| 1626 |
+
|
| 1627 |
+
- a disjunctive clause Pᵢ subsumes a conjunctive clause Qⱼ if and only
|
| 1628 |
+
if there exists an atomic constraint Pᵢₐ in Pᵢ for which there exists
|
| 1629 |
+
an atomic constraint $Q_{jb}$ in Qⱼ such that Pᵢₐ subsumes $Q_{jb}$,
|
| 1630 |
+
and
|
| 1631 |
+
- an atomic constraint A subsumes another atomic constraint B if and
|
| 1632 |
+
only if A and B are identical using the rules described in
|
| 1633 |
+
[[temp.constr.atomic]].
|
| 1634 |
+
|
| 1635 |
+
[*Example 1*: Let A and B be atomic constraints [[temp.constr.atomic]].
|
| 1636 |
+
The constraint A ∧ B subsumes A, but A does not subsume A ∧ B. The
|
| 1637 |
+
constraint A subsumes A ∨ B, but A ∨ B does not subsume A. Also note
|
| 1638 |
+
that every constraint subsumes itself. — *end example*]

+
|
| 1640 |
+
[*Note 1*:
|
| 1641 |
+
|
| 1642 |
+
The subsumption relation defines a partial ordering on constraints. This
|
| 1643 |
+
partial ordering is used to determine
|
| 1644 |
+
|
| 1645 |
+
- the best viable candidate of non-template functions
|

[[over.match.best]],

A declaration `D1` is *at least as constrained* as a declaration `D2` if

- `D1` and `D2` are both constrained declarations and `D1`’s associated

When a member function, a member class, a member enumeration, a static

The *template-argument*s for a member function of a class template are

determined by the *template-argument*s of the type of the object for

which the member function is called.

| 1935 |
[*Example 2*:

Deduction guides are used when a *template-name* appears as a type

specifier for a deduced class type [[dcl.type.class.deduct]]. Deduction
|
| 1954 |
+
guides are not found by name lookup. Instead, when performing class
|
| 1955 |
+
template argument deduction [[over.match.class.deduct]], any deduction

guides declared for the class template are considered.

The same restrictions apply to the *parameter-declaration-clause* of a

deduction guide as in a function declaration [[dcl.fct]]. The

*simple-template-id* shall name a class template specialization. The

| 1985 |
+
*template-name* shall be the same *identifier* as the *template-name* of
|
| 1986 |
+
the *simple-template-id*. A *deduction-guide* shall be declared in the
|
| 1987 |
+
same scope as the corresponding class template and, for a member class
|
| 1988 |
+
template, with the same access. Two deduction guide declarations in the

equivalent *parameter-declaration-clause*s.

#### Member classes of class templates <a id="temp.mem.class">[[temp.mem.class]]</a>
|
| 1993 |
|
| 1994 |
A member class of a class template may be defined outside the class
|
| 1995 |
template definition in which it is declared.
|
| 1996 |
|
| 1997 |
[*Note 1*:
|
| 1998 |
|
| 1999 |
The member class must be defined before its first use that requires an
|
| 2000 |
+
instantiation [[temp.inst]]. For example,
|
| 2001 |
|
| 2002 |
``` cpp
|
| 2003 |
template<class T> struct A {
|
| 2004 |
class B;
|
| 2005 |
};
|
|
|
|
| 2072 |
|
| 2073 |
A template can be declared within a class or class template; such a
|
| 2074 |
template is called a member template. A member template can be defined
|
| 2075 |
within or outside its class definition or class template definition. A
|
| 2076 |
member template of a class template that is defined outside of its class
|
| 2077 |
+
template definition shall be specified with a *template-head* equivalent
|
| 2078 |
+
to that of the class template followed by a *template-head* equivalent
|
| 2079 |
+
to that of the member template [[temp.over.link]].

A local class of non-closure type shall not have member templates.
|
| 2115 |
+
Access control rules [[class.access]] apply to member template names. A
|
| 2116 |
+
destructor shall not be a member template. A non-template member

function [[dcl.fct]] with a given name and type and a member function
|
| 2118 |
+
template of the same name, which could be used to generate a
|
| 2119 |
specialization of the same type, can both be declared in a class. When

both exist, a use of that name and type refers to the non-template

member unless an explicit template argument list is supplied.

A specialization of a member function template does not override a

| 2158 |
virtual function from a base class.

A specialization of a conversion function template is referenced in the

same way as a non-template conversion function that converts to the same
|

type.

A specialization of a conversion function template is not found by name
|
| 2203 |
lookup. Instead, any conversion function templates visible in the
|
| 2204 |
context of the use are considered. For each such operator, if argument
|
| 2205 |

deduction succeeds [[temp.deduct.conv]], the resulting specialization is

+
used as if found by name lookup.

A *using-declaration* in a derived class cannot refer to a

specialization of a conversion function template in a base class.

| 2210 |
|
| 2211 |

Overload resolution [[over.ics.rank]] and partial ordering

A *pack* is a template parameter pack, a function parameter pack, or an
|
| 2270 |
+
*init-capture* pack. The number of elements of a template parameter pack
|
| 2271 |
+
or a function parameter pack is the number of arguments provided for the
|
| 2272 |
+
parameter pack. The number of elements of an *init-capture* pack is the
|
| 2273 |
+
number of elements in the pack expansion of its *initializer*.
|
| 2274 |
|
| 2275 |
A *pack expansion* consists of a *pattern* and an ellipsis, the
|
| 2276 |
instantiation of which produces zero or more instantiations of the
|
| 2277 |
pattern in a list (described below). The form of the pattern depends on
|
| 2278 |
the context in which the expansion occurs. Pack expansions can occur in
|
| 2279 |
the following contexts:
|
| 2280 |
|
| 2281 |
+
- In a function parameter pack [[dcl.fct]]; the pattern is the
|
| 2282 |
*parameter-declaration* without the ellipsis.
|
| 2283 |
+
- In a *using-declaration* [[namespace.udecl]]; the pattern is a
|
| 2284 |
*using-declarator*.
|
| 2285 |
+
- In a template parameter pack that is a pack expansion [[temp.param]]:
|
|
|
|
| 2286 |
- if the template parameter pack is a *parameter-declaration*; the
|
| 2287 |
pattern is the *parameter-declaration* without the ellipsis;
|
| 2288 |
+
- if the template parameter pack is a *type-parameter*; the pattern is
|
| 2289 |
+
the corresponding *type-parameter* without the ellipsis.
|
| 2290 |
+
- In an *initializer-list* [[dcl.init]]; the pattern is an
|
|
|
|
| 2291 |
*initializer-clause*.
|
| 2292 |
+
- In a *base-specifier-list* [[class.derived]]; the pattern is a
|
| 2293 |
+
*base-specifier*.
|
| 2294 |
+
- In a *mem-initializer-list* [[class.base.init]] for a
|
| 2295 |
*mem-initializer* whose *mem-initializer-id* denotes a base class; the
|
| 2296 |
pattern is the *mem-initializer*.
|
| 2297 |
+
- In a *template-argument-list* [[temp.arg]]; the pattern is a
|
| 2298 |
*template-argument*.
|
| 2299 |
+
- In an *attribute-list* [[dcl.attr.grammar]]; the pattern is an
|
| 2300 |
*attribute*.
|
| 2301 |
+
- In an *alignment-specifier* [[dcl.align]]; the pattern is the
|
| 2302 |
*alignment-specifier* without the ellipsis.
|
| 2303 |
+
- In a *capture-list* [[expr.prim.lambda.capture]]; the pattern is the
|
| 2304 |
+
*capture* without the ellipsis.
|
| 2305 |
+
- In a `sizeof...` expression [[expr.sizeof]]; the pattern is an
|
| 2306 |
*identifier*.
|
| 2307 |
+
- In a *fold-expression* [[expr.prim.fold]]; the pattern is the
|
| 2308 |
+
*cast-expression* that contains an unexpanded pack.
|
| 2309 |
|
| 2310 |
+
[*Example 4*:

For the purpose of determining whether a pack satisfies a rule regarding
|
| 2322 |
+
entities other than packs, the pack is considered to be the entity that
|
| 2323 |
+
would result from an instantiation of the pattern in which it appears.
|
|
|
|
| 2324 |
|
| 2325 |
+
A pack whose name appears within the pattern of a pack expansion is
|
| 2326 |
+
expanded by that pack expansion. An appearance of the name of a pack is
|
| 2327 |
+
only expanded by the innermost enclosing pack expansion. The pattern of
|
| 2328 |
+
a pack expansion shall name one or more packs that are not expanded by a
|
| 2329 |
+
nested pack expansion; such packs are called *unexpanded packs* in the
|
| 2330 |
+
pattern. All of the packs expanded by a pack expansion shall have the
|
| 2331 |
+
same number of arguments specified. An appearance of a name of a pack
|
| 2332 |
+
that is not expanded is ill-formed.

The instantiation of a pack expansion that is neither a `sizeof...`
|
| 2364 |
+
expression nor a *fold-expression* produces a list of elements E₁, E₂,
|
| 2365 |
+
⋯, $\mathtt{E}_N$, where N is the number of elements in the pack
|
| 2366 |
+
expansion parameters. Each Eᵢ is generated by instantiating the pattern
|
| 2367 |
+
and replacing each pack expansion parameter with its iᵗʰ element. Such
|
| 2368 |
+
an element, in the context of the instantiation, is interpreted as
|
| 2369 |
+
follows:
|
| 2370 |
|
| 2371 |
- if the pack is a template parameter pack, the element is a template
|
| 2372 |
+
parameter [[temp.param]] of the corresponding kind (type or non-type)
|
| 2373 |
+
designating the iᵗʰ corresponding type or value template argument;
|
|
|
|
| 2374 |
- if the pack is a function parameter pack, the element is an
|
| 2375 |
+
*id-expression* designating the iᵗʰ function parameter that resulted
|
| 2376 |
+
from instantiation of the function parameter pack declaration;
|
| 2377 |
+
otherwise
|
| 2378 |
+
- if the pack is an *init-capture* pack, the element is an
|
| 2379 |
+
*id-expression* designating the variable introduced by the iᵗʰ
|
| 2380 |
+
*init-capture* that resulted from instantiation of the *init-capture*
|
| 2381 |
+
pack.
|
| 2382 |
|
| 2383 |
+
All of the Eᵢ become items in the enclosing list.
|
| 2384 |
|
| 2385 |

|
| 2388 |
|

list. Such an instantiation does not alter the syntactic interpretation
|
| 2391 |
of the enclosing construct, even in cases where omitting the list

entirely would otherwise be ill-formed or would result in an ambiguity
|
| 2393 |
in the grammar.

The instantiation of a `sizeof...` expression [[expr.sizeof]] produces
|
| 2410 |
+
an integral constant containing the number of elements in the pack it
|
| 2411 |
+
expands.
|
| 2412 |
|
| 2413 |
The instantiation of a *fold-expression* produces:
|
| 2414 |
|
| 2415 |
- `((`E₁ *op* E₂`)` *op* ⋯`)` *op* $\mathtt{E}_N$ for a unary left fold,
|
| 2416 |
- E₁ *op* `(`⋯ *op* `(`$\mathtt{E}_{N-1}$ *op* $\mathtt{E}_N$`))` for a
|
|
|
|
| 2421 |
E`)))` for a binary right fold.
|
| 2422 |
|
| 2423 |
In each case, *op* is the *fold-operator*, N is the number of elements
|
| 2424 |
in the pack expansion parameters, and each Eᵢ is generated by
|
| 2425 |
instantiating the pattern and replacing each pack expansion parameter
|
| 2426 |
+
with its iᵗʰ element. For a binary fold-expression, E is generated by
|
| 2427 |
instantiating the *cast-expression* that did not contain an unexpanded
|
| 2428 |
+
pack.

a *nested-name-specifier* ending with a *simple-template-id*, *C*, whose

template friend declaration shall be deducible from *C* (

deduction of the template parameters of *C* from *S* succeeds, and

### Class template partial specializations <a id="temp.class.spec">[[temp.class.spec]]</a>
|
| 2629 |
|
| 2630 |
A *primary class template* declaration is one in which the class
|
| 2631 |
template name is an identifier. A template declaration in which the
|
| 2632 |
class template name is a *simple-template-id* is a *partial
|
| 2633 |
specialization* of the class template named in the *simple-template-id*.
|
| 2634 |
A partial specialization of a class template provides an alternative
|
| 2635 |
definition of the template that is used instead of the primary
|
| 2636 |
definition when the arguments in a specialization match those given in
|
| 2637 |
+
the partial specialization [[temp.class.spec.match]]. The primary
|
| 2638 |
template shall be declared before any specializations of that template.
|
| 2639 |
A partial specialization shall be declared before the first use of a
|
| 2640 |
class template specialization that would make use of the partial
|
| 2641 |
specialization as the result of an implicit or explicit instantiation in
|
| 2642 |
every translation unit in which such a use occurs; no diagnostic is
|
| 2643 |
required.
|
| 2644 |
|
| 2645 |
Each class template partial specialization is a distinct template and
|
| 2646 |
definitions shall be provided for the members of a template partial
|
| 2647 |
+
specialization [[temp.class.spec.mfunc]].
|
| 2648 |
|
| 2649 |
[*Example 1*:
|
| 2650 |
|
| 2651 |
``` cpp
|
| 2652 |
template<class T1, class T2, int I> class A { };
|
|
|
|
| 2660 |
template. The second and subsequent declarations declare partial
|
| 2661 |
specializations of the primary template.
|
| 2662 |
|
| 2663 |
— *end example*]
|
| 2664 |
|
| 2665 |
+
A class template partial specialization may be constrained [[temp.pre]].
|
| 2666 |
+
|
| 2667 |
+
[*Example 2*:
|
| 2668 |
+
|
| 2669 |
+
``` cpp
|
| 2670 |
+
template<typename T> concept C = true;
|
| 2671 |
+
|
| 2672 |
+
template<typename T> struct X { };
|
| 2673 |
+
template<typename T> struct X<T*> { }; // #1
|
| 2674 |
+
template<C T> struct X<T> { }; // #2
|
| 2675 |
+
```
|
| 2676 |
+
|
| 2677 |
+
Both partial specializations are more specialized than the primary
|
| 2678 |
+
template. \#1 is more specialized because the deduction of its template
|
| 2679 |
+
arguments from the template argument list of the class template
|
| 2680 |
+
specialization succeeds, while the reverse does not. \#2 is more
|
| 2681 |
+
specialized because the template arguments are equivalent, but the
|
| 2682 |
+
partial specialization is more constrained [[temp.constr.order]].
|
| 2683 |
+
|
| 2684 |
+
— *end example*]
|
| 2685 |
+
|
| 2686 |
The template parameters are specified in the angle bracket enclosed list
|
| 2687 |
that immediately follows the keyword `template`. For partial
|
| 2688 |
specializations, the template argument list is explicitly written
|
| 2689 |
immediately following the class template name. For primary templates,
|
| 2690 |
this list is implicitly described by the template parameter list.
|
| 2691 |
Specifically, the order of the template arguments is the sequence in
|
| 2692 |
which they appear in the template parameter list.
|
| 2693 |
|
| 2694 |
+
[*Example 3*: The template argument list for the primary template in
|
| 2695 |
the example above is `<T1,` `T2,` `I>`. — *end example*]
|
| 2696 |
|
| 2697 |
[*Note 1*:
|
| 2698 |
|
| 2699 |
+
The template argument list cannot be specified in the primary template
|
| 2700 |
+
declaration. For example,
|
| 2701 |
|
| 2702 |
``` cpp
|
| 2703 |
template<class T1, class T2, int I>
|
| 2704 |
class A<T1, T2, I> { }; // error
|
| 2705 |
```
|
|
|
|
| 2708 |
|
| 2709 |
A class template partial specialization may be declared in any scope in
|
| 2710 |
which the corresponding primary template may be defined (
|
| 2711 |
[[namespace.memdef]], [[class.mem]], [[temp.mem]]).
|
| 2712 |
|
| 2713 |
+
[*Example 4*:
|
| 2714 |
|
| 2715 |
``` cpp
|
| 2716 |
template<class T> struct A {
|
| 2717 |
struct C {
|
| 2718 |
template<class T2> struct B { };
|
|
|
|
| 2734 |
previously-declared partial specializations of the primary template are
|
| 2735 |
also considered. One consequence is that a *using-declaration* which
|
| 2736 |
refers to a class template does not restrict the set of partial
|
| 2737 |
specializations which may be found through the *using-declaration*.
|
| 2738 |
|
| 2739 |
+
[*Example 5*:
|
| 2740 |
|
| 2741 |

|
| 2742 |
namespace N {
|
| 2743 |
template<class T1, class T2> class A { }; // primary template
|
| 2744 |
}
|
|
|
|
| 2762 |
following restrictions apply:
|
| 2763 |
|
| 2764 |
- The type of a template parameter corresponding to a specialized
|
| 2765 |
non-type argument shall not be dependent on a parameter of the
|
| 2766 |
specialization.
|
| 2767 |
+
\[*Example 6*:
|
| 2768 |
``` cpp
|
| 2769 |
template <class T, T t> struct C {};
|
| 2770 |
template <class T> struct C<T, 1>; // error
|
| 2771 |
|
| 2772 |
template< int X, int (*array_ptr)[X] > class A {};
|
| 2773 |
int array[5];
|
| 2774 |
template< int X > class A<X,&array> { }; // error
|
| 2775 |
```
|
| 2776 |
|
| 2777 |
— *end example*]
|
| 2778 |
+
- The specialization shall be more specialized than the primary template
|
| 2779 |
+
[[temp.class.order]].
|
| 2780 |
- The template parameter list of a specialization shall not contain
|
| 2781 |
+
default template argument values.[^8]
|
| 2782 |
+
- An argument shall not contain an unexpanded pack. If an argument is a
|
| 2783 |
+
pack expansion [[temp.variadic]], it shall be the last argument in the
|
| 2784 |
+
template argument list.
|
| 2785 |
+
|
| 2786 |
+
The usual access checking rules do not apply to non-dependent names used
|
| 2787 |
+
to specify template arguments of the *simple-template-id* of the partial
|
| 2788 |
+
specialization.
|
| 2789 |
+
|
| 2790 |
+
[*Note 2*: The template arguments may be private types or objects that
|
| 2791 |
+
would normally not be accessible. Dependent names cannot be checked when
|
| 2792 |
+
declaring the partial specialization, but will be checked when
|
| 2793 |
+
substituting into the partial specialization. — *end note*]
|
| 2794 |
|
| 2795 |
#### Matching of class template partial specializations <a id="temp.class.spec.match">[[temp.class.spec.match]]</a>
|
| 2796 |
|
| 2797 |
When a class template is used in a context that requires an
|
| 2798 |
instantiation of the class, it is necessary to determine whether the
|
|
|
|
| 2802 |
argument lists of the partial specializations.
|
| 2803 |
|
| 2804 |
- If exactly one matching specialization is found, the instantiation is
|
| 2805 |
generated from that specialization.
|
| 2806 |
- If more than one matching specialization is found, the partial order
|
| 2807 |
+
rules [[temp.class.order]] are used to determine whether one of the
|
| 2808 |
specializations is more specialized than the others. If none of the
|
| 2809 |
specializations is more specialized than all of the other matching
|
| 2810 |
specializations, then the use of the class template is ambiguous and
|
| 2811 |
the program is ill-formed.
|
| 2812 |
- If no matches are found, the instantiation is generated from the
|
| 2813 |
primary template.
|
| 2814 |
|
| 2815 |
A partial specialization matches a given actual template argument list
|
| 2816 |
if the template arguments of the partial specialization can be deduced
|
| 2817 |
+
from the actual template argument list [[temp.deduct]], and the deduced
|
| 2818 |
+
template arguments satisfy the associated constraints of the partial
|
| 2819 |
+
specialization, if any [[temp.constr.decl]].
|
| 2820 |
|
| 2821 |
[*Example 1*:

template<class T1, class T2, int I> class A { }; // #1

S<int> s1; // uses #1; the constraints of #2 are not satisfied
|
| 2850 |
+
S<Arg> s2; // uses #2; both constraints are satisfied but #2 is more specialized

|

If the template arguments of a partial specialization cannot be deduced
|
| 2856 |
because of the structure of its *template-parameter-list* and the
|
| 2857 |
*template-id*, the program is ill-formed.

#### Partial ordering of class template specializations <a id="temp.class.order">[[temp.class.order]]</a>
|
| 2879 |
|
| 2880 |
For two class template partial specializations, the first is *more
|
| 2881 |
specialized* than the second if, given the following rewrite to two
|
| 2882 |
function templates, the first function template is more specialized than
|
| 2883 |
+
the second according to the ordering rules for function templates
|
| 2884 |
+
[[temp.func.order]]:
|
| 2885 |
|
| 2886 |
+
- Each of the two function templates has the same template parameters
|
| 2887 |
+
and associated constraints [[temp.constr.decl]] as the corresponding
|
| 2888 |
+
partial specialization.
|
| 2889 |
- Each function template has a single function parameter whose type is a
|
| 2890 |
class template specialization where the template arguments are the
|
| 2891 |
corresponding template parameters from the function template for each
|
| 2892 |
template argument in the *template-argument-list* of the
|
| 2893 |
*simple-template-id* of the partial specialization.
|
|
|
|
| 2917 |
the partial specialization \#1 and the partial specialization \#4 is
|
| 2918 |
more specialized than the partial specialization \#3.

The template parameter list of a member of a class template partial

specialization shall match the template parameter list of the class

template partial specialization. The template argument list of a member
|

of a class template partial specialization shall match the template
|

argument list of the class template partial specialization. A class

template partial specialization is a distinct template. The members of

the class template partial specialization are unrelated to the members

of the primary template. Class template partial specialization members

that are used in a way that requires a definition shall be defined; the

definitions of members of the primary template are never used as

definitions for members of a class template partial specialization. An

of the primary template.

A function template can be overloaded with other function templates and
|
| 3042 |
+
with non-template functions [[dcl.fct]]. A non-template function is not
|
| 3043 |
+
related to a function template (i.e., it is never considered to be a
|
| 3044 |
specialization), even if it has the same name and type as a potentially

generated function template specialization.[^9]

#### Function template overloading <a id="temp.over.link">[[temp.over.link]]</a>

It is possible to overload function templates so that two different

function template specializations have the same type.

```
|
| 3071 |
|
| 3072 |

|
| 3073 |

| 3074 |
Such specializations are distinct functions and do not violate the
|
| 3075 |
+
one-definition rule [[basic.def.odr]].
|
| 3076 |
|
| 3077 |
+
The signature of a function template is defined in [[intro.defs]]. The
|
| 3078 |
+
names of the template parameters are significant only for establishing
|
| 3079 |
+
the relationship between the template parameters and the rest of the
|
| 3080 |
+
signature.
|
| 3081 |
|
| 3082 |
[*Note 1*:
|
| 3083 |
|
| 3084 |
Two distinct function templates may have identical function return types
|
| 3085 |
and function parameter lists, even if overload resolution alone cannot
|
|
|
|
| 3117 |
type parameter. For example, a template type parameter can be used in
|
| 3118 |
the `sizeof` operator. — *end note*]
|
| 3119 |
|
| 3120 |
Two expressions involving template parameters are considered
|
| 3121 |
*equivalent* if two function definitions containing the expressions
|
| 3122 |
+
would satisfy the one-definition rule [[basic.def.odr]], except that the
|
| 3123 |
+
tokens used to name the template parameters may differ as long as a
|
| 3124 |
token used to name a template parameter in one expression is replaced by
|
| 3125 |
another token that names the same template parameter in the other
|
| 3126 |
+
expression. Two unevaluated operands that do not involve template
|
| 3127 |
+
parameters are considered equivalent if two function definitions
|
| 3128 |
+
containing the expressions would satisfy the one-definition rule, except
|
| 3129 |
+
that the tokens used to name types and declarations may differ as long
|
| 3130 |
+
as they name the same entities, and the tokens used to form concept-ids
|
| 3131 |
+
may differ as long as the two *template-id*s are the same [[temp.type]].
|
| 3132 |
+
|
| 3133 |
+
[*Note 3*: For instance, `A<42>` and `A<40+2>` name the same
|
| 3134 |
+
type. — *end note*]
|
| 3135 |
+
|
| 3136 |
+
Two *lambda-expression*s are never considered equivalent.
|

+
|
| 3138 |

[*Note 4*: The intent is to avoid *lambda-expression*s appearing in the
|
| 3139 |

signature of a function template with external linkage. — *end note*]
|
| 3140 |
+
|
| 3141 |
+
For determining whether two dependent names [[temp.dep]] are equivalent,
|
| 3142 |
+
only the name itself is considered, not the result of name lookup in the
|
| 3143 |
+
context of the template. If multiple declarations of the same function
|
| 3144 |
+
template differ in the result of this name lookup, the result for the
|
| 3145 |
+
first declaration is used.

Two potentially-evaluated expressions involving template parameters that
|
| 3172 |

are not equivalent are *functionally equivalent* if, for any given set
|
| 3173 |
+
of template arguments, the evaluation of the expression results in the
|
| 3174 |
+
same value. Two unevaluated operands that are not equivalent are
|
| 3175 |
+
functionally equivalent if, for any given set of template arguments, the
|
| 3176 |
+
expressions perform the same operations in the same order with the same
|
| 3177 |

entities.

Two *template-head*s are *equivalent* if their

*template-parameter-list*s have the same length, corresponding
|
| 3184 |
+
*template-parameter*s are equivalent and are both declared with
|
| 3185 |
+
*type-constraint*s that are equivalent if either *template-parameter* is
|
| 3186 |
+
declared with a *type-constraint*, and if either *template-head* has a
|
| 3187 |
+
*requires-clause*, they both have *requires-clause*s and the
|
| 3188 |
+
corresponding *constraint-expression*s are equivalent. Two
|
| 3189 |
+
*template-parameter*s are *equivalent* under the following conditions:
|
| 3190 |
+
|
| 3191 |
+
- they declare template parameters of the same kind,
|
| 3192 |
+
- if either declares a template parameter pack, they both do,
|
| 3193 |
+
- if they declare non-type template parameters, they have equivalent
|
| 3194 |
+
types ignoring the use of *type-constraint*s for placeholder types,
|
| 3195 |
+
and
|
| 3196 |
+
- if they declare template template parameters, their template
|
| 3197 |
+
parameters are equivalent.
|
| 3198 |
+
|
| 3199 |
+
When determining whether types or *type-constraint*s are equivalent, the
|
| 3200 |
+
rules above are used to compare expressions involving template
|
| 3201 |
+
parameters. Two *template-head*s are *functionally equivalent* if they
|
| 3202 |
+
accept and are satisfied by [[temp.constr.constr]] the same set of
|
| 3203 |
+
template argument lists.
|
| 3204 |
|
| 3205 |
Two function templates are *equivalent* if they are declared in the same
|
| 3206 |
+
scope, have the same name, have equivalent *template-head*s, and have
|
| 3207 |
+
return types, parameter lists, and trailing *requires-clause*s (if any)
|
| 3208 |
+
that are equivalent using the rules described above to compare
|
| 3209 |
+
expressions involving template parameters. Two function templates are
|
| 3210 |
+
*functionally equivalent* if they are declared in the same scope, have
|
| 3211 |
+
the same name, accept and are satisfied by the same set of template
|
| 3212 |
+
argument lists, and have return types and parameter lists that are
|
| 3213 |
+
functionally equivalent using the rules described above to compare
|
| 3214 |
+
expressions involving template parameters. If the validity or meaning of
|
| 3215 |
+
the program depends on whether two constructs are equivalent, and they
|
| 3216 |
+
are functionally equivalent but not equivalent, the program is
|
| 3217 |
+
ill-formed, no diagnostic required.
|
| 3218 |
|
| 3219 |
+
[*Note 6*:
|
| 3220 |
|
| 3221 |
This rule guarantees that equivalent declarations will be linked with
|
| 3222 |
one another, while not requiring implementations to use heroic efforts
|
| 3223 |
to guarantee that functionally equivalent declarations will be treated
|
| 3224 |
as distinct. For example, the last two declarations are functionally
|
| 3225 |
equivalent and would cause a program to be ill-formed:

#### Partial ordering of function templates <a id="temp.func.order">[[temp.func.order]]</a>
|
| 3244 |
|
| 3245 |
If a function template is overloaded, the use of a function template
|
| 3246 |
+
specialization might be ambiguous because template argument deduction
|
| 3247 |
+
[[temp.deduct]] may associate the function template specialization with
|
| 3248 |
more than one function template declaration. *Partial ordering* of
|
| 3249 |
overloaded function template declarations is used in the following
|
| 3250 |
contexts to select the function template to which a function template
|
| 3251 |
specialization refers:
|
| 3252 |
|
| 3253 |
- during overload resolution for a call to a function template
|
| 3254 |
+
specialization [[over.match.best]];
|
| 3255 |
- when the address of a function template specialization is taken;
|
| 3256 |
- when a placement operator delete that is a function template
|
| 3257 |
specialization is selected to match a placement operator new (
|
| 3258 |
[[basic.stc.dynamic.deallocation]], [[expr.new]]);
|
| 3259 |
+
- when a friend function declaration [[temp.friend]], an explicit
|
| 3260 |
+
instantiation [[temp.explicit]] or an explicit specialization
|
| 3261 |
+
[[temp.expl.spec]] refers to a function template specialization.
|
| 3262 |
|
| 3263 |
Partial ordering selects which of two function templates is more
|
| 3264 |
specialized than the other by transforming each template in turn (see
|
| 3265 |
next paragraph) and performing template argument deduction using the
|
| 3266 |
function type. The deduction process determines whether one of the
|
| 3267 |
templates is more specialized than the other. If so, the more
|
| 3268 |
specialized template is the one chosen by the partial ordering process.
|
| 3269 |
+
If both deductions succeed, the partial ordering selects the more
|
| 3270 |
+
constrained template (if one exists) as determined below.
|
| 3271 |
|
| 3272 |
To produce the transformed template, for each type, non-type, or
|
| 3273 |
+
template template parameter (including template parameter packs
|
| 3274 |
+
[[temp.variadic]] thereof) synthesize a unique type, value, or class
|
| 3275 |
template respectively and substitute it for each occurrence of that
|
| 3276 |
parameter in the function type of the template.
|
| 3277 |
|
| 3278 |
[*Note 1*: The type replacing the placeholder in the type of the value
|
| 3279 |
synthesized for a non-type template parameter is also a unique
|
| 3280 |
synthesized type. — *end note*]
|
| 3281 |
|
| 3282 |
+
Each function template M that is a member function is considered to have
|
| 3283 |
+
a new first parameter of type X(M), described below, inserted in its
|
| 3284 |
+
function parameter list. If exactly one of the function templates was
|
| 3285 |
+
considered by overload resolution via a rewritten candidate
|
| 3286 |
+
[[over.match.oper]] with a reversed order of parameters, then the order
|
| 3287 |
+
of the function parameters in its transformed template is reversed. For
|
| 3288 |
+
a function template M with cv-qualifiers cv that is a member of a class
|
| 3289 |
+
A:
|
| 3290 |
+
|
| 3291 |
+
- The type X(M) is “rvalue reference to cv A” if the optional
|
| 3292 |
+
*ref-qualifier* of M is `&&` or if M has no *ref-qualifier* and the
|
| 3293 |
+
positionally-corresponding parameter of the other transformed template
|
| 3294 |
+
has rvalue reference type; if this determination depends recursively
|
| 3295 |
+
upon whether X(M) is an rvalue reference type, it is not considered to
|
| 3296 |
+
have rvalue reference type.
|
| 3297 |
+
- Otherwise, X(M) is “lvalue reference to cv A”.
|
| 3298 |
|
| 3299 |
[*Note 2*: This allows a non-static member to be ordered with respect
|
| 3300 |
to a non-member function and for the results to be equivalent to the
|
| 3301 |
ordering of two equivalent non-members. — *end note*]

Since, in a call context, such type deduction considers only parameters
|
| 3361 |
+
for which there are explicit call arguments, some parameters are ignored
|
| 3362 |
(namely, function parameter packs, parameters with default arguments,

and ellipsis parameters).

If deduction against the other template succeeds for both transformed
|
| 3422 |
+
templates, constraints can be considered as follows:
|
| 3423 |
+
|
| 3424 |
+
- If their *template-parameter-list*s (possibly including
|
| 3425 |
+
*template-parameter*s invented for an abbreviated function template
|
| 3426 |
+
[[dcl.fct]]) or function parameter lists differ in length, neither
|
| 3427 |
+
template is more specialized than the other.
|
| 3428 |
+
- Otherwise:
|
| 3429 |
+
- If exactly one of the templates was considered by overload
|
| 3430 |
+
resolution via a rewritten candidate with reversed order of
|
| 3431 |
+
parameters:
|
| 3432 |
+
- If, for either template, some of the template parameters are not
|
| 3433 |
+
deducible from their function parameters, neither template is more
|
| 3434 |
+
specialized than the other.
|
| 3435 |
+
- If there is either no reordering or more than one reordering of
|
| 3436 |
+
the associated *template-parameter-list* such that
|
| 3437 |
+
- the corresponding *template-parameter*s of the
|
| 3438 |
+
*template-parameter-list*s are equivalent and
|
| 3439 |
+
- the function parameters that positionally correspond between the
|
| 3440 |
+
two templates are of the same type,
|
| 3441 |
+
|
| 3442 |
+
neither template is more specialized than the other.
|
| 3443 |
+
- Otherwise, if the corresponding *template-parameter*s of the

if the function parameters that positionally correspond between the

| 3447 |
+
specialized than the other.
|
| 3448 |

- Otherwise, if the context in which the partial ordering is done is

| 3449 |

that of a call to a conversion function and the return types of the

specialized than the other.
|
| 3455 |
+
- Otherwise, neither template is more specialized than the other.

| 3456 |
+
|
| 3457 |

### Alias templates <a id="temp.alias">[[temp.alias]]</a>
|
| 3483 |
|
| 3484 |
A *template-declaration* in which the *declaration* is an
|
| 3485 |
+
*alias-declaration* [[dcl.pre]] declares the *identifier* to be an
|
| 3486 |
+
*alias template*. An alias template is a name for a family of types. The
|
| 3487 |
+
name of the alias template is a *template-name*.
|
| 3488 |
|
| 3489 |
When a *template-id* refers to the specialization of an alias template,
|
| 3490 |
it is equivalent to the associated type obtained by substitution of its
|
| 3491 |
+
*template-argument*s for the *template-parameter*s in the
|
| 3492 |
+
*defining-type-id* of the alias template.
|
| 3493 |
|
| 3494 |
[*Note 1*: An alias template name is never deduced. — *end note*]
|
| 3495 |
|
| 3496 |
[*Example 1*:
|
| 3497 |
|
|
|
|
| 3526 |
[*Example 2*:
|
| 3527 |
|
| 3528 |
``` cpp
|
| 3529 |
template<typename...> using void_t = void;
|
| 3530 |
template<typename T> void_t<typename T::foo> f();
|
| 3531 |
+
f<int>(); // error: int does not have a nested type foo
|
| 3532 |
```
|
| 3533 |
|
| 3534 |
— *end example*]
|
| 3535 |
|
| 3536 |
+
The *defining-type-id* in an alias template declaration shall not refer
|
| 3537 |
+
to the alias template being declared. The type produced by an alias
|
| 3538 |
+
template specialization shall not directly or indirectly make use of
|
| 3539 |
+
that specialization.
|
| 3540 |
|
| 3541 |
[*Example 3*:
|
| 3542 |
|
| 3543 |
``` cpp
|
| 3544 |
template <class T> struct A;
|
|
|
|
| 3549 |
B<short> b; // error: instantiation of B<short> uses own type via A<short>::U

```
|
| 3551 |
|
| 3552 |
— *end example*]
|
| 3553 |
|
| 3554 |
+
The type of a *lambda-expression* appearing in an alias template
|
| 3555 |
+
declaration is different between instantiations of that template, even
|
| 3556 |
+
when the *lambda-expression* is not dependent.
|
| 3557 |
+
|
| 3558 |
+
[*Example 4*:
|
| 3559 |
+
|
| 3560 |

``` cpp
|
| 3561 |
+
template <class T>
|
| 3562 |
+
using A = decltype([] { }); // A<int> and A<char> refer to different closure types

### Concept definitions <a id="temp.concept">[[temp.concept]]</a>
|
| 3568 |
+
|
| 3569 |
+
A *concept* is a template that defines constraints on its template
|
| 3570 |
+
arguments.
|
| 3571 |
+
|
| 3572 |
+
``` bnf
|
| 3573 |
+
concept-definition:
|
| 3574 |
+
concept concept-name '=' constraint-expression ';'
|
| 3575 |
+
```
|
| 3576 |
+
|
| 3577 |
+
``` bnf
|
| 3578 |
+
concept-name:
|
| 3579 |
+
identifier
|
| 3580 |
+
```
|
| 3581 |
+
|
| 3582 |
+
A *concept-definition* declares a concept. Its *identifier* becomes a
|
| 3583 |
+
*concept-name* referring to that concept within its scope.
|
| 3584 |
+
|
| 3585 |
+
[*Example 1*:
|
| 3586 |
+
|
| 3587 |
+
``` cpp
|
| 3588 |
+
template<typename T>
|
| 3589 |
+
concept C = requires(T x) {
|
| 3590 |
+
{ x == x } -> std::convertible_to<bool>;
|
| 3591 |
+
};
|
| 3592 |
+
|
| 3593 |
+
template<typename T>
|
| 3594 |
+
requires C<T> // C constrains f1(T) in constraint-expression
|
| 3595 |
+
T f1(T x) { return x; }
|
| 3596 |
+
|
| 3597 |
+
template<C T> // C, as a type-constraint, constrains f2(T)
|
| 3598 |
+
T f2(T x) { return x; }
|
| 3599 |
+
```
|
| 3600 |
+
|
| 3601 |
+
— *end example*]
|
| 3602 |
+
|
| 3603 |
+
A *concept-definition* shall appear at namespace scope
|
| 3604 |
+
[[basic.scope.namespace]].
|
| 3605 |
+
|
| 3606 |
+
A concept shall not have associated constraints [[temp.constr.decl]].
|
| 3607 |
+
|
| 3608 |
+
A concept is not instantiated [[temp.spec]].
|
| 3609 |
+
|
| 3610 |
+
[*Note 1*: A concept-id [[temp.names]] is evaluated as an expression. A
|
| 3611 |
+
concept cannot be explicitly instantiated [[temp.explicit]], explicitly
|
| 3612 |
+
specialized [[temp.expl.spec]], or partially specialized. — *end note*]
|
| 3613 |
+
|
| 3614 |
+
The *constraint-expression* of a *concept-definition* is an unevaluated
|
| 3615 |
+
operand [[expr.context]].
|
| 3616 |
+
|
| 3617 |
+
The first declared template parameter of a concept definition is its
|
| 3618 |
+
*prototype parameter*. A *type concept* is a concept whose prototype
|
| 3619 |
+
parameter is a type *template-parameter*.
|
| 3620 |
+
|
| 3621 |
## Name resolution <a id="temp.res">[[temp.res]]</a>
|
| 3622 |
|
| 3623 |
Three kinds of names can be used within a template definition:
|
| 3624 |
|
| 3625 |
- The name of the template itself, and names declared within the
|
| 3626 |
template itself.
|
| 3627 |
+
- Names dependent on a *template-parameter* [[temp.dep]].
|
| 3628 |
- Names from scopes which are visible within the template definition.
|
| 3629 |
|
| 3630 |
A name used in a template declaration or definition and that is
|
| 3631 |
dependent on a *template-parameter* is assumed not to name a type unless
|
| 3632 |
the applicable name lookup finds a type name or the name is qualified by
|
|
|
|
| 3648 |
Y* a3; // declare pointer to Y<T>
|
| 3649 |
Z* a4; // declare pointer to Z
|
| 3650 |
typedef typename T::A TA;
|
| 3651 |
TA* a5; // declare pointer to T's A
|
| 3652 |
typename T::A* a6; // declare pointer to T's A
|
| 3653 |
+
T::A* a7; // error: no visible declaration of a7
|
| 3654 |
+
// T::A is not a type name; multiplication of T::A by a7
|
| 3655 |
+
B* a8; // error: no visible declarations of B and a8
|
| 3656 |
+
// B is not a type name; multiplication of B by a8
|
| 3657 |
}
|
| 3658 |
};

|
| 3667 |
```
|
| 3668 |
|
| 3669 |
+
A *typename-specifier* denotes the type or class template denoted by the
|
| 3670 |
+
*simple-type-specifier* [[dcl.type.simple]] formed by omitting the
|
| 3671 |
+
keyword `typename`. The usual qualified name lookup
|
| 3672 |
+
[[basic.lookup.qual]] is used to find the *qualified-id* even in the
|
| 3673 |
+
presence of `typename`.
|
| 3674 |
|
| 3675 |
[*Example 2*:
|
| 3676 |
|
| 3677 |
``` cpp
|
| 3678 |
struct A {

— *end example*]
|

|
| 3698 |
+
A qualified name used as the name in a *class-or-decltype*
|
| 3699 |
+
[[class.derived]] or an *elaborated-type-specifier* is implicitly
|
| 3700 |
assumed to name a type, without the use of the `typename` keyword. In a
|
| 3701 |
*nested-name-specifier* that immediately contains a
|
| 3702 |
*nested-name-specifier* that depends on a template parameter, the
|
| 3703 |
*identifier* or *simple-template-id* is implicitly assumed to name a
|
| 3704 |
type, without the use of the `typename` keyword.
|
| 3705 |
|
| 3706 |
[*Note 1*: The `typename` keyword is not permitted by the syntax of
|
| 3707 |
these constructs. — *end note*]
|
| 3708 |
|
| 3709 |
+
A *qualified-id* is assumed to name a type if
|
| 3710 |
+
|
| 3711 |
+
- it is a qualified name in a type-id-only context (see below), or
|
| 3712 |
+
- it is a *decl-specifier* of the *decl-specifier-seq* of a
|
| 3713 |
+
- *simple-declaration* or a *function-definition* in namespace scope,
|
| 3714 |
+
- *member-declaration*,
|
| 3715 |
+
- *parameter-declaration* in a *member-declaration* [^10], unless that
|
| 3716 |
+
*parameter-declaration* appears in a default argument,
|
| 3717 |
+
- *parameter-declaration* in a *declarator* of a function or function
|
| 3718 |
+
template declaration whose *declarator-id* is qualified, unless that
|
| 3719 |
+
*parameter-declaration* appears in a default argument,
|
| 3720 |
+
- *parameter-declaration* in a *lambda-declarator* or
|
| 3721 |
+
*requirement-parameter-list*, unless that *parameter-declaration*
|
| 3722 |
+
appears in a default argument, or
|
| 3723 |
+
- *parameter-declaration* of a (non-type) *template-parameter*.
|
| 3724 |
+
|
| 3725 |
+
A qualified name is said to be in a *type-id-only context* if it appears
|
| 3726 |
+
in a *type-id*, *new-type-id*, or *defining-type-id* and the smallest
|
| 3727 |
+
enclosing *type-id*, *new-type-id*, or *defining-type-id* is a
|
| 3728 |
+
*new-type-id*, *defining-type-id*, *trailing-return-type*, default
|
| 3729 |
+
argument of a *type-parameter* of a template, or *type-id* of a
|
| 3730 |
+
`static_cast`, `const_cast`, `reinterpret_cast`, or `dynamic_cast`.

every template to be checked in this way. — *end note*]

The program is ill-formed, no diagnostic required, if:

- no valid specialization can be generated for a template or a

substatement of a constexpr if statement [[stmt.if]] within a template
|
| 3806 |

and the template is not instantiated, or
|
| 3807 |
+
- no substitution of template arguments into a *type-constraint* or
|
| 3808 |
+
*requires-clause* would result in a valid expression, or
|
| 3809 |
- every valid specialization of a variadic template requires an empty
|
| 3810 |
template parameter pack, or
|
| 3811 |
- a hypothetical instantiation of a template immediately following its
|
| 3812 |
definition would be ill-formed due to a construct that does not depend
|
| 3813 |
on a template parameter, or
|
|
|
|
| 3825 |
*using-declaration* was a pack expansion and the corresponding pack
|
| 3826 |
is empty, or
|
| 3827 |
- an instantiation uses a default argument or default template
|
| 3828 |
argument that had not been defined at the point at which the
|
| 3829 |
template was defined, or
|
| 3830 |
+
- constant expression evaluation [[expr.const]] within the template
|
| 3831 |
instantiation uses
|
| 3832 |
+
- the value of a const object of integral or unscoped enumeration
|
| 3833 |
type or
|
| 3834 |
- the value of a `constexpr` object or

- the definition of a constexpr function,

| 3837 |
|
|
|
|
| 3847 |

Otherwise, no diagnostic shall be issued for a template for which a

| 3849 |
valid specialization can be generated.

| 3850 |
|
| 3851 |
[*Note 4*: If a template is instantiated, errors will be diagnosed

according to the other rules in this document. Exactly when these errors

When looking for the declaration of a name used in a template
|
| 3880 |
definition, the usual lookup rules ([[basic.lookup.unqual]],
|
| 3881 |
[[basic.lookup.argdep]]) are used for non-dependent names. The lookup of
|
| 3882 |
names dependent on the template parameters is postponed until the actual
|
| 3883 |
+
template argument is known [[temp.dep]].
|
| 3884 |

[*Example 7*:

#include <iostream>
|

using namespace std;
|
| 3890 |
|
|
|
|
| 3899 |
cout << p[i] << '\n';

}

| 3901 |
};
|
| 3902 |
```
|
| 3903 |
|
| 3904 |
+
In the example, `i` is the local variable `i` declared in `printall`,
|
| 3905 |
`cnt` is the member `cnt` declared in `Set`, and `cout` is the standard
|
| 3906 |
output stream declared in `iostream`. However, not every declaration can
|
| 3907 |
be found this way; the resolution of some names must be postponed until
|
| 3908 |
the actual *template-argument*s are known. For example, even though the
|
| 3909 |
name `operator<<` is known within the definition of `printall()` and a
|
| 3910 |
declaration of it can be found in `<iostream>`, the actual declaration
|
| 3911 |
of `operator<<` needed to print `p[i]` cannot be known until it is known
|
| 3912 |
+

If a name does not depend on a *template-parameter* (as defined in

### Locally declared names <a id="temp.local">[[temp.local]]</a>
|
| 3953 |
|
| 3954 |
Like normal (non-template) classes, class templates have an
|
| 3955 |
+
injected-class-name [[class.pre]]. The injected-class-name can be used
|
| 3956 |
+
as a *template-name* or a *type-name*. When it is used with a
|
| 3957 |
*template-argument-list*, as a *template-argument* for a template
|
| 3958 |
*template-parameter*, or as the final identifier in the
|
| 3959 |
*elaborated-type-specifier* of a friend class template declaration, it
|
| 3960 |
+
is a *template-name* that refers to the class template itself.
|
| 3961 |
+
Otherwise, it is a *type-name* equivalent to the *template-name*
|
| 3962 |
+
followed by the *template-parameter*s of the class template enclosed in
|
| 3963 |
+
`<>`.
|
| 3964 |
|
| 3965 |
Within the scope of a class template specialization or partial
|
| 3966 |
specialization, when the injected-class-name is used as a *type-name*,
|
| 3967 |
it is equivalent to the *template-name* followed by the
|
| 3968 |
*template-argument*s of the class template specialization or partial
|
|
|
|
| 3984 |
```
|
| 3985 |
|
| 3986 |
— *end example*]
|
| 3987 |
|
| 3988 |
The injected-class-name of a class template or class template
|
| 3989 |
+
specialization can be used as either a *template-name* or a *type-name*
|
| 3990 |
wherever it is in scope.
|
| 3991 |
|
| 3992 |
[*Example 2*:
|
| 3993 |
|
| 3994 |
``` cpp
|
|
|
|
| 3999 |
template <class T> struct Derived: public Base<T> {
|
| 4000 |
typename Derived::Base* p; // meaning Derived::Base<T>
|
| 4001 |
};
|
| 4002 |
|
| 4003 |
template<class T, template<class> class U = T::template Base> struct Third { };
|
| 4004 |
+
Third<Derived<int> > t; // OK: default argument uses injected-class-name as a template
|
| 4005 |
```
|
| 4006 |
|
| 4007 |
— *end example*]
|
| 4008 |
|
| 4009 |
+
A lookup that finds an injected-class-name [[class.member.lookup]] can
|
| 4010 |
+
result in an ambiguity in certain cases (for example, if it is found in
|
| 4011 |
+
more than one base class). If all of the injected-class-names that are
|
| 4012 |
+
found refer to specializations of the same class template, and if the
|
| 4013 |
+
name is used as a *template-name*, the reference refers to the class
|
| 4014 |
template itself and not a specialization thereof, and is not ambiguous.
|
| 4015 |
|
| 4016 |
[*Example 3*:
|

— *end example*]
|
| 4045 |
|
| 4046 |
+
The name of a *template-parameter* shall not be redeclared within its
|
| 4047 |
+
scope (including nested scopes). A *template-parameter* shall not have
|
| 4048 |
+
the same name as the template name.

[*Example 5*:

|
| 4111 |
— *end example*]
|
| 4112 |
|
| 4113 |
In the definition of a class template or in the definition of a member
|
| 4114 |
of such a template that appears outside of the template definition, for
|
| 4115 |
+
each non-dependent base class [[temp.dep.type]], if the name of the base
|
| 4116 |
+
class or the name of a member of the base class is the same as the name
|
| 4117 |
+
of a *template-parameter*, the base class name or member name hides the
|
| 4118 |
+
*template-parameter* name [[basic.scope.hiding]].
|
| 4119 |
|
| 4120 |
[*Example 8*:
|

``` cpp
|
| 4123 |
struct A {
|
|

|
| 4139 |
Inside a template, some constructs have semantics which may differ from
|
| 4140 |
one instantiation to another. Such a construct *depends* on the template
|
| 4141 |
parameters. In particular, types and expressions may depend on the type
|
| 4142 |
and/or value of template parameters (as determined by the template
|
| 4143 |
arguments) and this determines the context for name lookup for certain
|
| 4144 |
+
names. An expression may be *type-dependent* (that is, its type may
|
| 4145 |
depend on a template parameter) or *value-dependent* (that is, its value
|
| 4146 |
+
when evaluated as a constant expression [[expr.const]] may depend on a
|
| 4147 |
+
template parameter) as described in this subclause.
|
| 4148 |
+
|
| 4149 |
+
In an expression of the form:
|
| 4150 |
+
|
| 4151 |
+
``` bnf
|
| 4152 |
+
postfix-expression '(' expression-listₒₚₜ ')'
|
| 4153 |
+
```
|
| 4154 |
|
| 4155 |
where the *postfix-expression* is an *unqualified-id*, the
|
| 4156 |
*unqualified-id* denotes a *dependent name* if
|
| 4157 |
|
| 4158 |
+
- any of the expressions in the *expression-list* is a pack expansion
|
| 4159 |
+
[[temp.variadic]],
|
| 4160 |
- any of the expressions or *braced-init-list*s in the *expression-list*
|
| 4161 |
+
is type-dependent [[temp.dep.expr]], or
|
| 4162 |
- the *unqualified-id* is a *template-id* in which any of the template
|
| 4163 |
arguments depends on a template parameter.
|
| 4164 |
|
| 4165 |
If an operand of an operator is a type-dependent expression, the
|
| 4166 |
+
operator also denotes a dependent name.
|
| 4167 |
+
|
| 4168 |
+
[*Note 1*: Such names are unbound and are looked up at the point of the
|
| 4169 |
+
template instantiation [[temp.point]] in both the context of the
|
| 4170 |
+
template definition and the context of the point of instantiation
|
| 4171 |
+
[[temp.dep.candidate]]. — *end note*]
|
| 4172 |
|
| 4173 |
[*Example 1*:
|

template<class T> struct X : B<T> {
|
|
|
|
| 4180 |
pb->j++;
|
| 4181 |
}
|
| 4182 |
};
|
| 4183 |
```
|
| 4184 |
|
| 4185 |
+
The base class name `B<T>`, the type name `T::A`, the names `B<T>::i`
|
| 4186 |
and `pb->j` explicitly depend on the *template-parameter*.
|
| 4187 |
|
| 4188 |
— *end example*]
|
| 4189 |
|
| 4190 |
In the definition of a class or class template, the scope of a dependent
|
| 4191 |
+
base class [[temp.dep.type]] is not examined during unqualified name
|
| 4192 |
lookup either at the point of definition of the class template or member
|
| 4193 |
or during an instantiation of the class template or member.
|
| 4194 |

| 4195 |
[*Example 2*:

A name refers to the *current instantiation* if it is
|
| 4242 |
|
| 4243 |
- in the definition of a class template, a nested class of a class
|
| 4244 |
template, a member of a class template, or a member of a nested class
|
| 4245 |
+
of a class template, the injected-class-name [[class.pre]] of the
|
| 4246 |
+
class template or nested class,
|
| 4247 |
- in the definition of a primary class template or a member of a primary
|
| 4248 |
class template, the name of the class template followed by the
|
| 4249 |
template argument list of the primary template (as described below)
|
| 4250 |
enclosed in `<>` (or an equivalent template alias specialization),

the nested class referenced as a member of the current instantiation,
|
| 4253 |
or
|
| 4254 |
- in the definition of a partial specialization or a member of a partial
|
| 4255 |
specialization, the name of the class template followed by the
|
| 4256 |
template argument list of the partial specialization enclosed in `<>`
|
| 4257 |
+
(or an equivalent template alias specialization). If the nᵗʰ template
|
| 4258 |
+
parameter is a template parameter pack, the nᵗʰ template argument is a
|
| 4259 |
+
pack expansion [[temp.variadic]] whose pattern is the name of the
|
| 4260 |
+
template parameter pack.
|
| 4261 |
|
| 4262 |
The template argument list of a primary template is a template argument
|
| 4263 |
+
list in which the nᵗʰ template argument has the value of the nᵗʰ
|
| 4264 |
+
template parameter of the class template. If the nᵗʰ template parameter
|
| 4265 |
+
is a template parameter pack [[temp.variadic]], the nᵗʰ template
|
| 4266 |
+
argument is a pack expansion [[temp.variadic]] whose pattern is the name
|
| 4267 |
+
of the template parameter pack.
|
| 4268 |
|
| 4269 |
+
A template argument that is equivalent to a template parameter can be
|
| 4270 |
+
used in place of that template parameter in a reference to the current
|
| 4271 |
+
instantiation. For a template *type-parameter*, a template argument is
|
| 4272 |
+
equivalent to a template parameter if it denotes the same type. For a
|
| 4273 |
+
non-type template parameter, a template argument is equivalent to a
|
| 4274 |
+
template parameter if it is an *identifier* that names a variable that
|
| 4275 |
+
is equivalent to the template parameter. A variable is equivalent to a
|
| 4276 |
+
template parameter if
|
| 4277 |
+
|
| 4278 |
+
- it has the same type as the template parameter (ignoring
|
| 4279 |
+
cv-qualification) and
|
| 4280 |
+
- its initializer consists of a single *identifier* that names the
|
| 4281 |
+
template parameter or, recursively, such a variable.
|
| 4282 |
+
|
| 4283 |

equivalence. — *end note*]

A class member access expression [[expr.ref]] is type-dependent if the
|
| 4573 |
+
expression refers to a member of the current instantiation and the type
|
| 4574 |
+
of the referenced member is dependent, or the class member access
|
| 4575 |
expression refers to a member of an unknown specialization.
|
| 4576 |
|
| 4577 |
[*Note 2*: In an expression of the form `x.y` or `xp->y` the type of
|
| 4578 |
the expression is usually the type of the member `y` of the class of `x`
|
| 4579 |
(or the class pointed to by `xp`). However, if `x` or `xp` refers to a
|
|
|

|
| 4594 |
is value-dependent.

An *id-expression* is value-dependent if:
|
| 4597 |
|
| 4598 |
+
- it is a concept-id and any of its arguments are dependent,
|
| 4599 |
- it is type-dependent,
|
| 4600 |
- it is the name of a non-type template parameter,
|
| 4601 |
- it names a static data member that is a dependent member of the
|
| 4602 |
current instantiation and is not initialized in a *member-declarator*,
|
| 4603 |
- it names a static member function that is a dependent member of the
|
| 4604 |
current instantiation, or
|
| 4605 |
+
- it names a potentially-constant variable [[expr.const]] that is
|
| 4606 |

Expressions of the following form are value-dependent if the
|
| 4609 |
*unary-expression* or *expression* is type-dependent or the *type-id* is

An expression of the form `&`*qualified-id* where the *qualified-id*
|
| 4644 |
names a dependent member of the current instantiation is
|
| 4645 |
value-dependent. An expression of the form `&`*cast-expression* is also
|
| 4646 |
value-dependent if evaluating *cast-expression* as a core constant
|
| 4647 |

expression [[expr.const]] succeeds and the result of the evaluation

refers to a templated entity that is an object with static or thread

For a function template specialization, a member function template
|
| 4698 |
specialization, or a specialization for a member function or static data
|
| 4699 |
member of a class template, if the specialization is implicitly
|
|
|
|
| 4739 |
|
| 4740 |
An explicit instantiation definition is an instantiation point for the
|
| 4741 |
specialization or specializations specified by the explicit
|
| 4742 |
instantiation.

|
| 4744 |
A specialization for a function template, a member function template, or
|
| 4745 |
of a member function or static data member of a class template may have
|
| 4746 |
multiple points of instantiations within a translation unit, and in
|
| 4747 |
+
addition to the points of instantiation described above,
|
| 4748 |
+
|
| 4749 |
+
- for any such specialization that has a point of instantiation within
|
| 4750 |
+
the *declaration-seq* of the *translation-unit*, prior to the
|
| 4751 |
+
*private-module-fragment* (if any), the point after the
|
| 4752 |
+
*declaration-seq* of the *translation-unit* is also considered a point
|
| 4753 |
+
of instantiation, and
|
| 4754 |
+
- for any such specialization that has a point of instantiation within
|
| 4755 |
+
the *private-module-fragment*, the end of the translation unit is also
|
| 4756 |
+
considered a point of instantiation.
|
| 4757 |
+
|
| 4758 |
+
A specialization for a class template has at most one point of
|
| 4759 |
+
instantiation within a translation unit. A specialization for any
|
| 4760 |
+
template may have points of instantiation in multiple translation units.
|
| 4761 |
+
If two different points of instantiation give a template specialization
|
| 4762 |
+
different meanings according to the one-definition rule
|
| 4763 |
+
[[basic.def.odr]], the program is ill-formed, no diagnostic required.

|
| 4765 |
#### Candidate functions <a id="temp.dep.candidate">[[temp.dep.candidate]]</a>
|
| 4766 |
|
| 4767 |
For a function call where the *postfix-expression* is a dependent name,
|
| 4768 |
+
the candidate functions are found using the usual lookup rules from the
|
| 4769 |
+
template definition context ([[basic.lookup.unqual]],
|
| 4770 |
+
[[basic.lookup.argdep]]).
|
| 4771 |
|
| 4772 |
+
[*Note 1*: For the part of the lookup using associated namespaces
|
| 4773 |
+
[[basic.lookup.argdep]], function declarations found in the template
|
| 4774 |
+
instantiation context are found by this lookup, as described in
|
| 4775 |
+
[[basic.lookup.argdep]]. — *end note*]
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| 4776 |
|
| 4777 |
If the call would be ill-formed or would find a better match had the
|
| 4778 |
lookup within the associated namespaces considered all the function
|
| 4779 |
declarations with external linkage introduced in those namespaces in all
|
| 4780 |
translation units, not just considering those declarations found in the
|
| 4781 |
template definition and template instantiation contexts, then the
|
| 4782 |
program has undefined behavior.

### Friend names declared within a class template <a id="temp.inject">[[temp.inject]]</a>
|
| 4983 |
|
| 4984 |
Friend classes or functions can be declared within a class template.
|
| 4985 |
When a template is instantiated, the names of its friends are treated as
|
| 4986 |
if the specialization had been explicitly declared at its point of
|
| 4987 |
instantiation.
|
| 4988 |
|
| 4989 |
As with non-template classes, the names of namespace-scope friend
|
| 4990 |
functions of a class template specialization are not visible during an
|
| 4991 |
+
ordinary lookup unless explicitly declared at namespace scope
|
| 4992 |
+
[[class.friend]]. Such names may be found under the rules for associated
|
| 4993 |
+
classes [[basic.lookup.argdep]].[^11]

## Template instantiation and specialization <a id="temp.spec">[[temp.spec]]</a>
|
| 5014 |
|
| 5015 |
+
The act of instantiating a function, a variable, a class, a member of a
|
| 5016 |
+
class template, or a member template is referred to as *template
|
| 5017 |
instantiation*.
|
| 5018 |
|
| 5019 |
A function instantiated from a function template is called an
|
| 5020 |
instantiated function. A class instantiated from a class template is
|
| 5021 |
called an instantiated class. A member function, a member class, a
|
|
|
|
| 5023 |
instantiated from the member definition of the class template is called,
|
| 5024 |
respectively, an instantiated member function, member class, member
|
| 5025 |
enumeration, or static data member. A member function instantiated from
|
| 5026 |
a member function template is called an instantiated member function. A
|
| 5027 |
member class instantiated from a member class template is called an
|
| 5028 |
+
instantiated member class. A variable instantiated from a variable
|
| 5029 |
+
template is called an instantiated variable. A static data member
|
| 5030 |
+
instantiated from a static data member template is called an
|
| 5031 |
+
instantiated static data member.
|
| 5032 |
|
| 5033 |
An explicit specialization may be declared for a function template, a
|
| 5034 |
+
variable template, a class template, a member of a class template, or a
|
| 5035 |
+
member template. An explicit specialization declaration is introduced by
|
| 5036 |
+
`template<>`. In an explicit specialization declaration for a variable
|
| 5037 |
+
template, a class template, a member of a class template or a class
|
| 5038 |
+
member template, the name of the variable or class that is explicitly
|
| 5039 |
+
specialized shall be a *simple-template-id*. In the explicit
|
| 5040 |
specialization declaration for a function template or a member function
|
| 5041 |
template, the name of the function or member function explicitly
|
| 5042 |
specialized may be a *template-id*.
|
| 5043 |
|
| 5044 |
[*Example 1*:
|
|
|
|
| 5063 |
```
|
| 5064 |
|
| 5065 |
— *end example*]
|
| 5066 |
|
| 5067 |
An instantiated template specialization can be either implicitly
|
| 5068 |
+
instantiated [[temp.inst]] for a given argument list or be explicitly
|
| 5069 |
+
instantiated [[temp.explicit]]. A *specialization* is a class, variable,
|
| 5070 |
+
function, or class member that is either instantiated [[temp.inst]] from
|
| 5071 |
+
a templated entity or is an explicit specialization [[temp.expl.spec]]
|
| 5072 |
+
of a templated entity.
|
| 5073 |
|
| 5074 |
For a given template and a given set of *template-argument*s,
|
| 5075 |
|
| 5076 |
- an explicit instantiation definition shall appear at most once in a
|
| 5077 |
program,
|
| 5078 |
+
- an explicit specialization shall be defined at most once in a program,
|
| 5079 |
+
as specified in [[basic.def.odr]], and
|
| 5080 |
- both an explicit instantiation and a declaration of an explicit
|
| 5081 |
specialization shall not appear in a program unless the explicit
|
| 5082 |
instantiation follows a declaration of the explicit specialization.
|
| 5083 |
|
| 5084 |
An implementation is not required to diagnose a violation of this rule.
|
| 5085 |
|
| 5086 |
+
The usual access checking rules do not apply to names in a declaration
|
| 5087 |
+
of an explicit instantiation or explicit specialization, with the
|
| 5088 |
+
exception of names appearing in a function body, default argument,
|
| 5089 |
+
base-clause, member-specification, enumerator-list, or static data
|
| 5090 |
+
member or variable template initializer.
|
| 5091 |
+
|
| 5092 |
+
[*Note 1*: In particular, the template arguments and names used in the
|
| 5093 |
+
function declarator (including parameter types, return types and
|
| 5094 |
+
exception specifications) may be private types or objects that would
|
| 5095 |
+
normally not be accessible. — *end note*]
|
| 5096 |
+
|
| 5097 |
Each class template specialization instantiated from a template has its
|
| 5098 |
own copy of any static members.
|
| 5099 |
|
| 5100 |
[*Example 2*:
|
| 5101 |
|
|
|
|
| 5114 |
`s` of type `char*`.
|
| 5115 |
|
| 5116 |
— *end example*]
|
| 5117 |
|
| 5118 |
If a function declaration acquired its function type through a dependent
|
| 5119 |
+
type [[temp.dep.type]] without using the syntactic form of a function
|
| 5120 |
declarator, the program is ill-formed.
|
| 5121 |
|
| 5122 |
[*Example 3*:
|
| 5123 |
|
| 5124 |
``` cpp
|
| 5125 |
template<class T> struct A {
|
| 5126 |
static T t;
|
| 5127 |
};
|
| 5128 |
typedef int function();
|
| 5129 |
+
A<function> a; // error: would declare A<function>::t as a static member function
|
| 5130 |
```
|
| 5131 |
|
| 5132 |
— *end example*]
|
| 5133 |
|
| 5134 |
### Implicit instantiation <a id="temp.inst">[[temp.inst]]</a>
|
| 5135 |
|
| 5136 |
+
A template specialization E is a *declared specialization* if there is a
|
| 5137 |
+
reachable explicit instantiation definition [[temp.explicit]] or
|
| 5138 |
+
explicit specialization declaration [[temp.expl.spec]] for E, or if
|
| 5139 |
+
there is a reachable explicit instantiation declaration for E and E is
|
| 5140 |
+
not
|
| 5141 |
+
|
| 5142 |
+
- an inline function,
|
| 5143 |
+
- declared with a type deduced from its initializer or return value
|
| 5144 |
+
[[dcl.spec.auto]],
|
| 5145 |
+
- a potentially-constant variable [[expr.const]], or
|
| 5146 |
+
- a specialization of a templated class.
|
| 5147 |
+
|
| 5148 |
+
[*Note 1*: An implicit instantiation in an importing translation unit
|
| 5149 |
+
cannot use names with internal linkage from an imported translation unit
|
| 5150 |
+
[[basic.link]]. — *end note*]
|
| 5151 |
+
|
| 5152 |
+
Unless a class template specialization is a declared specialization, the
|
| 5153 |
+
class template specialization is implicitly instantiated when the
|
| 5154 |
+
specialization is referenced in a context that requires a
|
| 5155 |
+
completely-defined object type or when the completeness of the class
|
| 5156 |
+
type affects the semantics of the program.
|
| 5157 |
+
|
| 5158 |
+
[*Note 2*: In particular, if the semantics of an expression depend on
|
| 5159 |
the member or base class lists of a class template specialization, the
|
| 5160 |
class template specialization is implicitly generated. For instance,
|
| 5161 |
deleting a pointer to class type depends on whether or not the class
|
| 5162 |
declares a destructor, and a conversion between pointers to class type
|
| 5163 |
depends on the inheritance relationship between the two classes
|
|
|
|
| 5180 |
```
|
| 5181 |
|
| 5182 |
— *end example*]
|
| 5183 |
|
| 5184 |
If a class template has been declared, but not defined, at the point of
|
| 5185 |
+
instantiation [[temp.point]], the instantiation yields an incomplete
|
| 5186 |
+
class type [[basic.types]].
|
| 5187 |
|
| 5188 |
[*Example 2*:
|
| 5189 |
|
| 5190 |
``` cpp
|
| 5191 |
template<class T> class X;
|
| 5192 |
X<char> ch; // error: incomplete type X<char>
|
| 5193 |
```
|
| 5194 |
|
| 5195 |
— *end example*]
|
| 5196 |
|
| 5197 |
+
[*Note 3*: Within a template declaration, a local class [[class.local]]
|
| 5198 |
+
or enumeration and the members of a local class are never considered to
|
| 5199 |
+
be entities that can be separately instantiated (this includes their
|
| 5200 |
+
default arguments, *noexcept-specifier*s, and non-static data member
|
| 5201 |
+
initializers, if any, but not their *type-constraint*s or
|
| 5202 |
+
*requires-clause*s). As a result, the dependent names are looked up, the
|
| 5203 |
+
semantic constraints are checked, and any templates used are
|
| 5204 |
+
instantiated as part of the instantiation of the entity within which the
|
| 5205 |
+
local class or enumeration is declared. — *end note*]
|
| 5206 |
|
| 5207 |
+
The implicit instantiation of a class template specialization causes
|
| 5208 |
+
|
| 5209 |
+
- the implicit instantiation of the declarations, but not of the
|
| 5210 |
+
definitions, of the non-deleted class member functions, member
|
| 5211 |
+
classes, scoped member enumerations, static data members, member
|
| 5212 |
+
templates, and friends; and
|
| 5213 |
+
- the implicit instantiation of the definitions of deleted member
|
| 5214 |
+
functions, unscoped member enumerations, and member anonymous unions.
|
| 5215 |
+
|
| 5216 |
+
The implicit instantiation of a class template specialization does not
|
| 5217 |
+
cause the implicit instantiation of default arguments or
|
| 5218 |
+
*noexcept-specifier*s of the class member functions.
|
| 5219 |
+
|
| 5220 |
+
[*Example 3*:
|
| 5221 |
+
|
| 5222 |
+
``` cpp
|
| 5223 |
+
template<class T>
|
| 5224 |
+
struct C {
|
| 5225 |
+
void f() { T x; }
|
| 5226 |
+
void g() = delete;
|
| 5227 |
+
};
|
| 5228 |
+
C<void> c; // OK, definition of C<void>::f is not instantiated at this point
|
| 5229 |
+
template<> void C<int>::g() { } // error: redefinition of C<int>::g

| 5230 |
+

| 5231 |
+
|
| 5232 |
+
— *end example*]
|
| 5233 |
+
|
| 5234 |
+
However, for the purpose of determining whether an instantiated
|
| 5235 |
+
redeclaration is valid according to [[basic.def.odr]] and
|
| 5236 |
+
[[class.mem]], a declaration that corresponds to a definition in the
|
| 5237 |
template is considered to be a definition.
|
| 5238 |
|
| 5239 |
+
[*Example 4*:
|
| 5240 |
|
| 5241 |
``` cpp
|
| 5242 |
template<class T, class U>
|
| 5243 |
struct Outer {
|
| 5244 |
template<class X, class Y> struct Inner;

template<typename U> friend int f(U) { return sizeof(T); }
|
| 5262 |
};
|
| 5263 |
Friendly<char> fc;

|
| 5268 |
|
| 5269 |
+
Unless a member of a class template or a member template is a declared
|
| 5270 |
+
specialization, the specialization of the member is implicitly
|
| 5271 |
+
instantiated when the specialization is referenced in a context that
|
| 5272 |
+
requires the member definition to exist or if the existence of the
|
| 5273 |
+
definition of the member affects the semantics of the program; in
|
| 5274 |
particular, the initialization (and any associated side effects) of a
|
| 5275 |
static data member does not occur unless the static data member is
|
| 5276 |
itself used in a way that requires the definition of the static data
|
| 5277 |
member to exist.
|
| 5278 |
|
| 5279 |
+
Unless a function template specialization is a declared specialization,
|
| 5280 |
+
the function template specialization is implicitly instantiated when the
|
| 5281 |
+
specialization is referenced in a context that requires a function
|
| 5282 |
+
definition to exist or if the existence of the definition affects the
|
| 5283 |
+
semantics of the program. A function whose declaration was instantiated
|
| 5284 |
+
from a friend function definition is implicitly instantiated when it is
|
| 5285 |
+
referenced in a context that requires a function definition to exist or
|
| 5286 |
+
if the existence of the definition affects the semantics of the program.
|
| 5287 |
+
Unless a call is to a function template explicit specialization or to a
|
| 5288 |
+
member function of an explicitly specialized class template, a default
|
| 5289 |
+
argument for a function template or a member function of a class
|
| 5290 |
+
template is implicitly instantiated when the function is called in a
|
| 5291 |
+
context that requires the value of the default argument.
|
| 5292 |
|
| 5293 |
+
[*Note 4*: An inline function that is the subject of an explicit
|
| 5294 |
+
instantiation declaration is not a declared specialization; the intent
|
| 5295 |
+
is that it still be implicitly instantiated when odr-used
|
| 5296 |
+
[[basic.def.odr]] so that the body can be considered for inlining, but
|
| 5297 |
+
that no out-of-line copy of it be generated in the translation

+
unit. — *end note*]

Nothing in this example requires `class` `Z<double>`, `Z<int>::g()`, or

`Z<char>::f()` to be implicitly instantiated.

|
| 5323 |
|
| 5324 |
+
Unless a variable template specialization is a declared specialization,
|
| 5325 |
+
the variable template specialization is implicitly instantiated when it
|
| 5326 |
+
is referenced in a context that requires a variable definition to exist
|
| 5327 |
+
or if the existence of the definition affects the semantics of the
|
| 5328 |

program. A default template argument for a variable template is
|
| 5329 |
+
implicitly instantiated when the variable template is referenced in a
|
| 5330 |
+
context that requires the value of the default argument.
|
| 5331 |
+
|
| 5332 |
+
The existence of a definition of a variable or function is considered to
|
| 5333 |
+
affect the semantics of the program if the variable or function is
|
| 5334 |
+
needed for constant evaluation by an expression [[expr.const]], even if
|
| 5335 |

constant evaluation of the expression is not required or if constant

expression evaluation does not use the definition.

If the function selected by overload resolution [[over.match]] can be

If a function template or a member function template specialization is

It is unspecified whether or not an implementation implicitly

template to be implicitly instantiated except that a class template may

be instantiated where its complete type is needed to determine the
|
| 5399 |

correctness of the default argument. The use of a default argument in a

Implicitly instantiated class, function, and variable template

a closure type is declared [[expr.prim.lambda.closure]] – and therefore
|
| 5445 |
+
its associated namespaces – remain as determined from the context of the
|
| 5446 |
+
definition for the default argument. This analysis is called *default
|
| 5447 |
+
argument instantiation*. The instantiated default argument is then used
|
| 5448 |
+
as the argument of `f`.
|
| 5449 |
|
| 5450 |
Each default argument is instantiated independently.

The *noexcept-specifier* of a function template specialization is not
|
| 5471 |
instantiated along with the function declaration; it is instantiated
|
| 5472 |
+
when needed [[except.spec]]. If such an *noexcept-specifier* is needed
|
| 5473 |
+
but has not yet been instantiated, the dependent names are looked up,
|
| 5474 |
+
the semantics constraints are checked, and the instantiation of any
|
| 5475 |
template used in the *noexcept-specifier* is done as if it were being
|
| 5476 |
done as part of instantiating the declaration of the specialization at
|
| 5477 |
that point.
|
| 5478 |
|
| 5479 |

[*Note 6*: [[temp.point]] defines the point of instantiation of a

template specialization. — *end note*]

There is an *implementation-defined* quantity that specifies the limit
|
| 5483 |
+
on the total depth of recursive instantiations [[implimits]], which
|
| 5484 |
could involve more than one template. The result of an infinite
|

recursion in instantiation is undefined.

The *type-constraint*s and *requires-clause* of a template
|
| 5501 |
+
specialization or member function are not instantiated along with the
|
| 5502 |
+
specialization or function itself, even for a member function of a local
|
| 5503 |
+
class; substitution into the atomic constraints formed from them is
|
| 5504 |

instead performed as specified in [[temp.constr.decl]] and
|
| 5505 |

[[temp.constr.atomic]] when determining whether the constraints are
|
| 5506 |

satisfied or as specified in [[temp.constr.decl]] when comparing
|
| 5507 |
+
declarations.
|
| 5508 |
+
|
| 5509 |

[*Note 7*: The satisfaction of constraints is determined during

[*Example 11*:
|
| 5514 |
+
|

``` cpp
|
| 5516 |

template<typename T> concept C = sizeof(T) > 2;
|
| 5517 |
+
template<typename T> concept D = C<T> && sizeof(T) > 4;
|
| 5518 |
+
|
| 5519 |

template<typename T> struct S {

|
| 5528 |

When `S<char>` is instantiated, both constructors are part of the

specialization. Their constraints are not satisfied, and they suppress

the implicit declaration of a default constructor for `S<char>`

### Explicit instantiation <a id="temp.explicit">[[temp.explicit]]</a>
|
| 5559 |
|
| 5560 |
A class, function, variable, or member template specialization can be
|
| 5561 |
explicitly instantiated from its template. A member function, member
|
| 5562 |
class or static data member of a class template can be explicitly
|
| 5563 |
instantiated from the member definition associated with its class
|
| 5564 |
+
template.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| 5565 |
|
| 5566 |
The syntax for explicit instantiation is:
|
| 5567 |
|
| 5568 |
``` bnf
|
| 5569 |
explicit-instantiation:
|
| 5570 |
+
externₒₚₜ template declaration
|
| 5571 |
```
|
| 5572 |
|
| 5573 |
There are two forms of explicit instantiation: an explicit instantiation
|
| 5574 |
definition and an explicit instantiation declaration. An explicit
|
| 5575 |
instantiation declaration begins with the `extern` keyword.
|
| 5576 |
|
| 5577 |
+
An explicit instantiation shall not use a *storage-class-specifier*
|
| 5578 |
+
[[dcl.stc]] other than `thread_local`. An explicit instantiation of a
|
| 5579 |
+
function template, member function of a class template, or variable
|
| 5580 |
+
template shall not use the `inline`, `constexpr`, or `consteval`
|
| 5581 |
+
specifiers. No *attribute-specifier-seq* [[dcl.attr.grammar]] shall
|
| 5582 |
+
appertain to an explicit instantiation.
|
| 5583 |
+
|
| 5584 |
If the explicit instantiation is for a class or member class, the
|
| 5585 |
*elaborated-type-specifier* in the *declaration* shall include a
|
| 5586 |
+
*simple-template-id*; otherwise, the *declaration* shall be a
|
| 5587 |
+
*simple-declaration* whose *init-declarator-list* comprises a single
|
| 5588 |
+
*init-declarator* that does not have an *initializer*. If the explicit
|
| 5589 |
+
instantiation is for a function or member function, the *unqualified-id*
|
| 5590 |
+
in the *declarator* shall be either a *template-id* or, where all
|
| 5591 |
+
template arguments can be deduced, a *template-name* or
|
| 5592 |
+
*operator-function-id*.
|
| 5593 |
|
| 5594 |
[*Note 1*: The declaration may declare a *qualified-id*, in which case
|
| 5595 |
the *unqualified-id* of the *qualified-id* must be a
|
| 5596 |
*template-id*. — *end note*]
|
| 5597 |
|
| 5598 |
If the explicit instantiation is for a member function, a member class
|
| 5599 |
or a static data member of a class template specialization, the name of
|
| 5600 |
the class template specialization in the *qualified-id* for the member
|
| 5601 |
name shall be a *simple-template-id*. If the explicit instantiation is
|
| 5602 |
+
for a variable template specialization, the *unqualified-id* in the
|
| 5603 |
+
*declarator* shall be a *simple-template-id*. An explicit instantiation
|
| 5604 |
+
shall appear in an enclosing namespace of its template. If the name
|
| 5605 |
+
declared in the explicit instantiation is an unqualified name, the
|
| 5606 |
+
explicit instantiation shall appear in the namespace where its template
|
| 5607 |
+
is declared or, if that namespace is inline [[namespace.def]], any
|
| 5608 |
+
namespace from its enclosing namespace set.
|
| 5609 |
|
| 5610 |
[*Note 2*: Regarding qualified names in declarators, see
|
| 5611 |
[[dcl.meaning]]. — *end note*]
|
| 5612 |
|
| 5613 |
[*Example 1*:
|
|
|
|
| 5635 |
class of a class template, or a member class template of a class or
|
| 5636 |
class template shall precede an explicit instantiation of that entity
|
| 5637 |
unless the explicit instantiation is preceded by an explicit
|
| 5638 |
specialization of the entity with the same template arguments. If the
|
| 5639 |
*declaration* of the explicit instantiation names an implicitly-declared
|
| 5640 |
+
special member function [[special]], the program is ill-formed.
|
| 5641 |
+
|
| 5642 |
+
The *declaration* in an *explicit-instantiation* and the *declaration*
|
| 5643 |
+
produced by the corresponding substitution into the templated function,
|
| 5644 |
+
variable, or class are two declarations of the same entity.
|
| 5645 |
+
|
| 5646 |
+
[*Note 3*:
|
| 5647 |
+
|
| 5648 |
+
These declarations are required to have matching types as specified in
|
| 5649 |
+
[[basic.link]], except as specified in [[except.spec]].
|
| 5650 |
+
|
| 5651 |
+
[*Example 2*:
|
| 5652 |
+
|
| 5653 |
+
``` cpp
|
| 5654 |
+
template<typename T> T var = {};
|
| 5655 |
+
template float var<float>; // OK, instantiated variable has type float
|
| 5656 |
+
template int var<int[16]>[]; // OK, absence of major array bound is permitted
|
| 5657 |
+
template int *var<int>; // error: instantiated variable has type int
|
| 5658 |
+
|
| 5659 |
+
template<typename T> auto av = T();
|
| 5660 |
+
template int av<int>; // OK, variable with type int can be redeclared with type auto
|
| 5661 |
+
|
| 5662 |
+
template<typename T> auto f() {}
|
| 5663 |
+
template void f<int>(); // error: function with deduced return type
|
| 5664 |
+
// redeclared with non-deduced return type[dcl.spec.auto]
|
| 5665 |
+
```
|
| 5666 |
+
|
| 5667 |
+
— *end example*]
|
| 5668 |
+
|
| 5669 |
+
— *end note*]
|
| 5670 |
+
|
| 5671 |
+
Despite its syntactic form, the *declaration* in an
|
| 5672 |
+
*explicit-instantiation* for a variable is not itself a definition and
|
| 5673 |
+
does not conflict with the definition instantiated by an explicit
|
| 5674 |
+
instantiation definition for that variable.
|
| 5675 |
|
| 5676 |
For a given set of template arguments, if an explicit instantiation of a
|
| 5677 |
template appears after a declaration of an explicit specialization for
|
| 5678 |
that template, the explicit instantiation has no effect. Otherwise, for
|
| 5679 |
+
an explicit instantiation definition, the definition of a function
|
| 5680 |
template, a variable template, a member function template, or a member
|
| 5681 |
function or static data member of a class template shall be present in
|
| 5682 |
every translation unit in which it is explicitly instantiated.
|
| 5683 |
|
| 5684 |
An explicit instantiation of a class, function template, or variable
|
|
|
|
| 5686 |
is defined. An explicit instantiation for a member of a class template
|
| 5687 |
is placed in the namespace where the enclosing class template is
|
| 5688 |
defined. An explicit instantiation for a member template is placed in
|
| 5689 |
the namespace where the enclosing class or class template is defined.
|
| 5690 |
|
| 5691 |
+
[*Example 3*:
|
| 5692 |
|
| 5693 |
``` cpp
|
| 5694 |
namespace N {
|
| 5695 |
template<class T> class Y { void mf() { } };
|
| 5696 |
}
|
|
|
|
| 5707 |
— *end example*]
|
| 5708 |
|
| 5709 |
A trailing *template-argument* can be left unspecified in an explicit
|
| 5710 |
instantiation of a function template specialization or of a member
|
| 5711 |
function template specialization provided it can be deduced from the
|
| 5712 |
+
type of a function parameter [[temp.deduct]].
|
| 5713 |
|
| 5714 |
+
[*Example 4*:
|
| 5715 |
|
| 5716 |
``` cpp
|

template<class T> class Array { ... };
|
| 5718 |
template<class T> void sort(Array<T>& v) { ... }
|
| 5719 |
|
|
|
|
| 5721 |
template void sort<>(Array<int>&);

```

|
| 5724 |
— *end example*]
|
| 5725 |
|
| 5726 |
+
[*Note 4*: An explicit instantiation of a constrained template is
|
| 5727 |
+
required to satisfy that template’s associated constraints
|
| 5728 |
+
[[temp.constr.decl]]. The satisfaction of constraints is determined when
|
| 5729 |
+
forming the template name of an explicit instantiation in which all
|
| 5730 |
+
template arguments are specified [[temp.names]], or, for explicit
|
| 5731 |
+
instantiations of function templates, during template argument deduction
|
| 5732 |
+
[[temp.deduct.decl]] when one or more trailing template arguments are
|
| 5733 |
+
left unspecified. — *end note*]
|
| 5734 |
+
|
| 5735 |
An explicit instantiation that names a class template specialization is
|
| 5736 |
also an explicit instantiation of the same kind (declaration or
|
| 5737 |
definition) of each of its members (not including members inherited from
|
| 5738 |
base classes and members that are templates) that has not been
|
| 5739 |
previously explicitly specialized in the translation unit containing the
|
| 5740 |
+
explicit instantiation, provided that the associated constraints, if
|
| 5741 |
+
any, of that member are satisfied by the template arguments of the
|
| 5742 |
+
explicit instantiation ([[temp.constr.decl]], [[temp.constr.constr]]),
|
| 5743 |
+
except as described below.
|
| 5744 |
|
| 5745 |
+
[*Note 5*: In addition, it will typically be an explicit instantiation
|
| 5746 |
of certain implementation-dependent data about the class. — *end note*]
|
| 5747 |
|
| 5748 |
An explicit instantiation definition that names a class template
|
| 5749 |
specialization explicitly instantiates the class template specialization
|
| 5750 |
and is an explicit instantiation definition of only those members that
|
| 5751 |
have been defined at the point of instantiation.
|
| 5752 |
|
| 5753 |
+
An explicit instantiation of a prospective destructor [[class.dtor]]
|
| 5754 |
+
shall name the selected destructor of the class.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| 5755 |
|
| 5756 |
If an entity is the subject of both an explicit instantiation
|
| 5757 |
declaration and an explicit instantiation definition in the same
|
| 5758 |
translation unit, the definition shall follow the declaration. An entity
|
| 5759 |
that is the subject of an explicit instantiation declaration and that is
|
| 5760 |
+
also used in a way that would otherwise cause an implicit instantiation
|
| 5761 |
+
[[temp.inst]] in the translation unit shall be the subject of an
|
| 5762 |
+
explicit instantiation definition somewhere in the program; otherwise
|
| 5763 |
+
the program is ill-formed, no diagnostic required.
|
| 5764 |
|
| 5765 |
+
[*Note 6*: This rule does apply to inline functions even though an
|
| 5766 |
explicit instantiation declaration of such an entity has no other
|
| 5767 |
normative effect. This is needed to ensure that if the address of an
|
| 5768 |
inline function is taken in a translation unit in which the
|
| 5769 |
implementation chose to suppress the out-of-line body, another
|
| 5770 |
translation unit will supply the body. — *end note*]
|
| 5771 |
|
| 5772 |
An explicit instantiation declaration shall not name a specialization of
|
| 5773 |
a template with internal linkage.
|
| 5774 |

|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|

An explicit instantiation does not constitute a use of a default
|
| 5776 |
argument, so default argument instantiation is not done.
|
| 5777 |
|
| 5778 |

generated from the template.

|
| 5831 |

An explicit specialization shall not use a *storage-class-specifier*
|
| 5832 |
+
[[dcl.stc]] other than `thread_local`.
|
| 5833 |
+
|
| 5834 |
An explicit specialization may be declared in any scope in which the
|
| 5835 |
corresponding primary template may be defined ([[namespace.memdef]],
|
| 5836 |
[[class.mem]], [[temp.mem]]).
|
| 5837 |
|
| 5838 |
A declaration of a function template, class template, or variable
|
|
|
|
| 5863 |
data member template of a class template may be explicitly specialized
|
| 5864 |
for a class specialization that is implicitly instantiated; in this
|
| 5865 |
case, the definition of the class template shall precede the explicit
|
| 5866 |
specialization for the member of the class template. If such an explicit
|
| 5867 |
specialization for the member of a class template names an
|
| 5868 |
+
implicitly-declared special member function [[special]], the program is
|
| 5869 |
+
ill-formed.
|
| 5870 |
|
| 5871 |
A member of an explicitly specialized class is not implicitly
|
| 5872 |
instantiated from the member declaration of the class template; instead,
|
| 5873 |
the member of the class template specialization shall itself be
|
| 5874 |
explicitly defined if its definition is required. In this case, the

Whether an explicit specialization of a function or variable template is

template specialization that is not a specialization of a constructor

template by qualifying the function template name with the list of

A template argument list may be specified when referring to a

specialization of a function template
|

|
| 6273 |
- when a function is called,

reference to function, or when a pointer to member function is formed,

Trailing template arguments that can be deduced [[temp.deduct]] or
|
| 6281 |
obtained from default *template-argument*s may be omitted from the list
|
| 6282 |
+
of explicit *template-argument*s. A trailing template parameter pack
|
| 6283 |
+
[[temp.variadic]] not otherwise deduced will be deduced as an empty
|
| 6284 |
sequence of template arguments. If all of the template arguments can be
|
| 6285 |
deduced, they may all be omitted; in this case, the empty template
|
| 6286 |
argument list `<>` itself may also be omitted. In contexts where

deduction is done and fails, or in contexts where deduction is not done,

[*Note 1*:

An empty template argument list can be used to indicate that a given use

refers to a specialization of a function template even when a
|
| 6315 |

non-template function [[dcl.fct]] is visible that would otherwise be

f<int>("aa",3.0); // Y deduced as const char*; Z deduced as double

Implicit conversions [[conv]] will be performed on a function argument
|
| 6350 |
+
to convert it to the type of the corresponding function parameter if the
|
| 6351 |

parameter type contains no *template-parameter*s that participate in

template argument deduction.

[*Note 2*:
|
| 6355 |
|
| 6356 |
Template parameters do not participate in template argument deduction if
|
| 6357 |
they are explicitly specified. For example,

are named without using a function name [[class.qual]], there is no way

Template argument deduction can extend the sequence of template
|
| 6380 |
arguments corresponding to a template parameter pack, even when the
|
| 6381 |
sequence contains explicitly specified template arguments.
|
| 6382 |
|

| 6384 |
|
| 6385 |
``` cpp
|
| 6386 |
template<class ... Types> void f(Types ... values);
|
| 6387 |
|
| 6388 |
void g() {
|
| 6389 |
+
f<int*, float*>(0, 0, 0); // Types deduced as the sequence int*, float*, int

}
|
| 6418 |
```

|
| 6420 |
— *end example*]
|
| 6421 |
|
| 6422 |
+
When an explicit template argument list is specified, if the given
|
| 6423 |
+
*template-id* is not valid [[temp.names]], type deduction fails.
|
| 6424 |
+
Otherwise, the specified template argument values are substituted for
|
| 6425 |
+
the corresponding template parameters as specified below.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| 6426 |
|
| 6427 |
After this substitution is performed, the function parameter type
|
| 6428 |
adjustments described in [[dcl.fct]] are performed.
|
| 6429 |
|
| 6430 |
[*Example 2*: A parameter type of “`void (const int, int[5])`” becomes
|
|
|
|
| 6493 |
When all template arguments have been deduced or obtained from default
|
| 6494 |
template arguments, all uses of template parameters in the template
|
| 6495 |
parameter list of the template and the function type are replaced with
|
| 6496 |
the corresponding deduced or default argument values. If the
|
| 6497 |
substitution results in an invalid type, as described above, type
|
| 6498 |
+
deduction fails. If the function template has associated constraints
|
| 6499 |
+
[[temp.constr.decl]], those constraints are checked for satisfaction
|
| 6500 |
+
[[temp.constr.constr]]. If the constraints are not satisfied, type
|
| 6501 |
deduction fails.
|
| 6502 |
|
| 6503 |
At certain points in the template argument deduction process it is
|
| 6504 |
necessary to take a function type that makes use of template parameters
|
| 6505 |
and replace those template parameters with the corresponding template
|
|
|
|
| 6514 |
expressions include not only constant expressions such as those that
|
| 6515 |
appear in array bounds or as nontype template arguments but also general
|
| 6516 |
expressions (i.e., non-constant expressions) inside `sizeof`,
|
| 6517 |
`decltype`, and other contexts that allow non-constant expressions. The
|
| 6518 |
substitution proceeds in lexical order and stops when a condition that
|
| 6519 |
+
causes deduction to fail is encountered. If substitution into different
|
| 6520 |
+
declarations of the same function template would cause template
|
| 6521 |
+
instantiations to occur in a different order or not at all, the program
|
| 6522 |
+
is ill-formed; no diagnostic required.
|
| 6523 |
|
| 6524 |
[*Note 3*: The equivalent substitution in exception specifications is
|
| 6525 |
done only when the *noexcept-specifier* is instantiated, at which point
|
| 6526 |
a program is ill-formed if the substitution results in an invalid type

| 6527 |
or expression. — *end note*]

effects such as the instantiation of class template specializations

and/or function template specializations, the generation of

[*Note 7*:

Type deduction may fail for the following reasons:
|
| 6632 |
|
| 6633 |
+
- Attempting to instantiate a pack expansion containing multiple packs
|
| 6634 |
+
of differing lengths.
|
| 6635 |
- Attempting to create an array with an element type that is `void`, a
|
| 6636 |

function type, or a reference type, or attempting to create an array
|
| 6637 |
+
with a size that is zero or negative.

|
| 6728 |
In the following example, assuming a `signed char` cannot represent the
|
| 6729 |
+
value 1000, a narrowing conversion [[dcl.init.list]] would be required
|
| 6730 |

to convert the *template-argument* of type `int` to `signed char`,

| 6735 |
template <int> int f(int);

int i1 = f<1000>(0); // OK

Template argument deduction is done by comparing each function template
|
| 6746 |
parameter type (call it `P`) that contains *template-parameter*s that
|
| 6747 |
participate in template argument deduction with the type of the
|
| 6748 |
corresponding argument of the call (call it `A`) as described below. If
|
| 6749 |
removing references and cv-qualifiers from `P` gives
|
| 6750 |
+
`std::initializer_list<P^{\prime}>` or `P`'`[N]` for some `P`' and `N`
|
| 6751 |
+
and the argument is a non-empty initializer list [[dcl.init.list]], then
|
| 6752 |
+
deduction is performed instead for each element of the initializer list
|
| 6753 |
+
independently, taking `P`' as separate function template parameter types
|
| 6754 |
+
`P`'_i and the iᵗʰ initializer element as the corresponding argument. In
|
| 6755 |
+
the `P`'`[N]` case, if `N` is a non-type template parameter, `N` is
|
| 6756 |
+
deduced from the length of the initializer list. Otherwise, an
|
| 6757 |
+
initializer list argument causes the parameter to be considered a

non-deduced context [[temp.deduct.type]].

For a function parameter pack that occurs at the end of the
|
| 6799 |
*parameter-declaration-list*, deduction is performed for each remaining
|
| 6800 |
argument of the call, taking the type `P` of the *declarator-id* of the
|
| 6801 |
function parameter pack as the corresponding function template parameter
|
| 6802 |
type. Each deduction deduces template arguments for subsequent positions
|
| 6803 |
in the template parameter packs expanded by the function parameter pack.
|
| 6804 |

When a function parameter pack appears in a non-deduced context

- If the original `P` is a reference type, the deduced `A` (i.e., the

transformed `A`.
|
| 6896 |

- The transformed `A` can be another pointer or pointer-to-member type

- If `P` is a class and `P` has the form *simple-template-id*, then the

transformed `A` can be a derived class `D` of the deduced `A`.
|
| 6902 |
+
Likewise, if `P` is a pointer to a class of the form
|
| 6903 |
+
*simple-template-id*, the transformed `A` can be a pointer to a

a class `C` that is a (direct or indirect) base class of `D` and

| 6906 |

derived (directly or indirectly) from a class `B` and that would be a

valid deduced `A`, the deduced `A` cannot be `B` or pointer to `B`,

|
| 7015 |
|
| 7016 |
Template arguments can be deduced from the type specified when taking
|
| 7017 |
+
the address of an overloaded function [[over.over]]. If there is a
|
| 7018 |
+
target, the function template’s function type and the target type are
|
| 7019 |
+
used as the types of `P` and `A`, and the deduction is done as described
|
| 7020 |
+
in [[temp.deduct.type]]. Otherwise, deduction is performed with empty
|
| 7021 |
+
sets of types P and A.
|
| 7022 |
|
| 7023 |
+
A placeholder type [[dcl.spec.auto]] in the return type of a function
|
| 7024 |
template is a non-deduced context. If template argument deduction
|
| 7025 |
succeeds for such a function, the return type is determined from
|
| 7026 |
instantiation of the function body.

#### Deducing conversion function template arguments <a id="temp.deduct.conv">[[temp.deduct.conv]]</a>

|
| 7034 |
determination of that type) as described in [[temp.deduct.type]].
|
| 7035 |
|
| 7036 |
If `P` is a reference type, the type referred to by `P` is used in place
|
| 7037 |
of `P` for type deduction and for any further references to or
|
| 7038 |
+
transformations of `P` in the remainder of this subclause.
|
| 7039 |
|
| 7040 |
If `A` is not a reference type:
|
| 7041 |
|
| 7042 |
- If `P` is an array type, the pointer type produced by the
|
| 7043 |
+
array-to-pointer standard conversion [[conv.array]] is used in place
|
| 7044 |
+
of `P` for type deduction; otherwise,
|
| 7045 |
- If `P` is a function type, the pointer type produced by the
|
| 7046 |
+
function-to-pointer standard conversion [[conv.func]] is used in place
|
| 7047 |
+
of `P` for type deduction; otherwise,
|
| 7048 |
- If `P` is a cv-qualified type, the top-level cv-qualifiers of `P`’s
|
| 7049 |
type are ignored for type deduction.
|
| 7050 |
|
| 7051 |
If `A` is a cv-qualified type, the top-level cv-qualifiers of `A`’s type
|
| 7052 |
are ignored for type deduction. If `A` is a reference type, the type
|
|
|
|
| 7055 |
In general, the deduction process attempts to find template argument
|
| 7056 |
values that will make the deduced `A` identical to `A`. However, there
|
| 7057 |
are four cases that allow a difference:
|
| 7058 |
|
| 7059 |
- If the original `A` is a reference type, `A` can be more cv-qualified
|
| 7060 |
+
than the deduced `A` (i.e., the type referred to by the reference).
|
| 7061 |
- If the original `A` is a function pointer type, `A` can be “pointer to
|
| 7062 |
+
function” even if the deduced `A` is “pointer to `noexcept` function”.
|
| 7063 |
+
- If the original `A` is a pointer-to-member-function type, `A` can be
|
| 7064 |
“pointer to member of type function” even if the deduced `A` is
|
| 7065 |
+
“pointer to member of type `noexcept` function”.
|
| 7066 |
+
- The deduced `A` can be another pointer or pointer-to-member type that
|
| 7067 |
can be converted to `A` via a qualification conversion.
|
| 7068 |
|
| 7069 |
These alternatives are considered only if type deduction would otherwise
|
| 7070 |
fail. If they yield more than one possible deduced `A`, the type
|
| 7071 |
deduction fails.

#### Deducing template arguments during partial ordering <a id="temp.deduct.partial">[[temp.deduct.partial]]</a>
|
| 7074 |
|
| 7075 |
Template argument deduction is done by comparing certain types
|
| 7076 |
associated with the two function templates being compared.
|
| 7077 |
|
|
|
|
| 7092 |
|
| 7093 |
The types used to determine the ordering depend on the context in which
|
| 7094 |
the partial ordering is done:
|
| 7095 |
|
| 7096 |
- In the context of a function call, the types used are those function
|
| 7097 |
+
parameter types for which the function call has arguments.[^12]
|
| 7098 |
- In the context of a call to a conversion function, the return types of
|
| 7099 |
the conversion function templates are used.
|
| 7100 |
+
- In other contexts [[temp.func.order]] the function template’s function
|
| 7101 |
+
type is used.
|
| 7102 |
|
| 7103 |
Each type nominated above from the parameter template and the
|
| 7104 |
corresponding type from the argument template are used as the types of
|
| 7105 |
+
`P` and `A`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| 7106 |
|
| 7107 |
Before the partial ordering is done, certain transformations are
|
| 7108 |
performed on the types used for partial ordering:
|
| 7109 |
|
| 7110 |
- If `P` is a reference type, `P` is replaced by the type referred to.
|
|
|
|
| 7148 |
// than the variadic templates #1 and #2
|
| 7149 |
```
|
| 7150 |
|
| 7151 |
— *end example*]
|
| 7152 |
|
| 7153 |
+
If, for a given type, the types are identical after the transformations
|
| 7154 |
+
above and both `P` and `A` were reference types (before being replaced
|
| 7155 |
+
with the type referred to above):
|
|
|
|
| 7156 |
|
| 7157 |
- if the type from the argument template was an lvalue reference and the
|
| 7158 |
type from the parameter template was not, the parameter type is not
|
| 7159 |
considered to be at least as specialized as the argument type;
|
| 7160 |
otherwise,
|
|
|
|
| 7169 |
specialized than* `G` if `F` is at least as specialized as `G` and `G`
|
| 7170 |
is not at least as specialized as `F`.
|
| 7171 |
|
| 7172 |
If, after considering the above, function template `F` is at least as
|
| 7173 |
specialized as function template `G` and vice-versa, and if `G` has a
|
| 7174 |
+
trailing function parameter pack for which `F` does not have a
|
| 7175 |
+
corresponding parameter, and if `F` does not have a trailing function
|
| 7176 |
+
parameter pack, then `F` is more specialized than `G`.
|
| 7177 |
|
| 7178 |
+
In most cases, deduction fails if not all template parameters have
|
| 7179 |
+
values, but for partial ordering purposes a template parameter may
|
| 7180 |
+
remain without a value provided it is not used in the types being used
|
| 7181 |
+
for partial ordering.
|
| 7182 |
|
| 7183 |
[*Note 2*: A template parameter used in a non-deduced context is
|
| 7184 |
considered used. — *end note*]
|
| 7185 |
|
| 7186 |
[*Example 2*:
|
|
|
|
| 7239 |
A given type `P` can be composed from a number of other types,
|
| 7240 |
templates, and non-type values:
|
| 7241 |
|
| 7242 |
- A function type includes the types of each of the function parameters
|
| 7243 |
and the return type.
|
| 7244 |
+
- A pointer-to-member type includes the type of the class object pointed
|
| 7245 |
to and the type of the member pointed to.
|
| 7246 |
- A type that is a specialization of a class template (e.g., `A<int>`)
|
| 7247 |
includes the types, templates, and non-type values referenced by the
|
| 7248 |
template argument list of the specialization.
|
| 7249 |
- An array type includes the array element type and the value of the
|
| 7250 |
array bound.
|
| 7251 |
|
| 7252 |
In most cases, the types, templates, and non-type values that are used
|
| 7253 |
to compose `P` participate in template argument deduction. That is, they
|
| 7254 |
+
may be used to determine the value of a template argument, and template
|
| 7255 |
+
argument deduction fails if the value so determined is not consistent
|
| 7256 |
+
with the values determined elsewhere. In certain contexts, however, the
|
| 7257 |
+
value does not participate in type deduction, but instead uses the
|
| 7258 |
+
values of template arguments that were either deduced elsewhere or
|
| 7259 |
+
explicitly specified. If a template parameter is used only in
|
| 7260 |
+
non-deduced contexts and is not explicitly specified, template argument
|
| 7261 |
+
deduction fails.
|
| 7262 |
|
| 7263 |
+
[*Note 1*: Under [[temp.deduct.call]], if `P` contains no
|
| 7264 |
+
*template-parameter*s that appear in deduced contexts, no deduction is
|
| 7265 |
+
done, so `P` and `A` need not have the same form. — *end note*]
|
|
|
|
| 7266 |
|
| 7267 |
The non-deduced contexts are:
|
| 7268 |
|
| 7269 |
- The *nested-name-specifier* of a type that was specified using a
|
| 7270 |
*qualified-id*.
|
|
|
|
| 7272 |
- A non-type template argument or an array bound in which a
|
| 7273 |
subexpression references a template parameter.
|
| 7274 |
- A template parameter used in the parameter type of a function
|
| 7275 |
parameter that has a default argument that is being used in the call
|
| 7276 |
for which argument deduction is being done.
|
| 7277 |
+
- A function parameter for which the associated argument is an overload
|
| 7278 |
+
set [[over.over]], and one or more of the following apply:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| 7279 |
- more than one function matches the function parameter type
|
| 7280 |
(resulting in an ambiguous deduction), or
|
| 7281 |
- no function matches the function parameter type, or
|
| 7282 |
+
- the overload set supplied as an argument contains one or more
|
| 7283 |
function templates.
|
| 7284 |
- A function parameter for which the associated argument is an
|
| 7285 |
+
initializer list [[dcl.init.list]] but the parameter does not have a
|
| 7286 |
+
type for which deduction from an initializer list is specified
|
| 7287 |
+
[[temp.deduct.call]].
|
| 7288 |
\[*Example 1*:
|
| 7289 |
``` cpp
|
| 7290 |
template<class T> void g(T);
|
| 7291 |
g({1,2,3}); // error: no argument deduced for T
|
| 7292 |
```
|
|
|
|
| 7376 |
template non-type argument `i` can be deduced if `P` and `A` have one of
|
| 7377 |
the following forms:
|
| 7378 |
|
| 7379 |
``` cpp
|
| 7380 |
T
|
| 7381 |
+
cv T
|
| 7382 |

| 7404 |

```
|
| 7406 |
|
| 7407 |
+
where `(T)` represents a parameter-type-list [[dcl.fct]] where at least
|
| 7408 |
+
one parameter type contains a `T`, and `()` represents a
|
| 7409 |
parameter-type-list where no parameter type contains a `T`. Similarly,
|
| 7410 |
`<T>` represents template argument lists where at least one argument
|
| 7411 |
contains a `T`, `<i>` represents template argument lists where at least
|
| 7412 |
one argument contains an `i` and `<>` represents template argument lists
|
| 7413 |
where no argument contains a `T` or an `i`.
|
|
|
|
| 7419 |
is not the last template argument, the entire template argument list is
|
| 7420 |
a non-deduced context. If `Pᵢ` is a pack expansion, then the pattern of
|
| 7421 |
`Pᵢ` is compared with each remaining argument in the template argument
|
| 7422 |
list of `A`. Each comparison deduces template arguments for subsequent
|
| 7423 |
positions in the template parameter packs expanded by `Pᵢ`. During
|
| 7424 |
+
partial ordering [[temp.deduct.partial]], if `Aᵢ` was originally a pack
|
| 7425 |
+
expansion:
|
| 7426 |
|
| 7427 |
- if `P` does not contain a template argument corresponding to `Aᵢ` then
|
| 7428 |
`Aᵢ` is ignored;
|
| 7429 |
- otherwise, if `Pᵢ` is not a pack expansion, template argument
|
| 7430 |
deduction fails.
|
|
|
|
| 7444 |
```
|
| 7445 |
|
| 7446 |
— *end example*]
|
| 7447 |
|
| 7448 |
Similarly, if `P` has a form that contains `(T)`, then each parameter
|
| 7449 |
+
type `Pᵢ` of the respective parameter-type-list [[dcl.fct]] of `P` is
|
| 7450 |
compared with the corresponding parameter type `Aᵢ` of the corresponding
|
| 7451 |
parameter-type-list of `A`. If `P` and `A` are function types that
|
| 7452 |
+
originated from deduction when taking the address of a function template
|
| 7453 |
+
[[temp.deduct.funcaddr]] or when deducing template arguments from a
|
| 7454 |
+
function declaration [[temp.deduct.decl]] and `Pᵢ` and `Aᵢ` are
|
| 7455 |
+
parameters of the top-level parameter-type-list of `P` and `A`,
|
| 7456 |
+
respectively, `Pᵢ` is adjusted if it is a forwarding reference
|
| 7457 |
+
[[temp.deduct.call]] and `Aᵢ` is an lvalue reference, in which case the
|
| 7458 |
type of `Pᵢ` is changed to be the template parameter type (i.e., `T&&`
|
| 7459 |
is changed to simply `T`).
|
| 7460 |
|
| 7461 |
[*Note 2*: As a result, when `Pᵢ` is `T&&` and `Aᵢ` is `X&`, the
|
| 7462 |
adjusted `Pᵢ` will be `T`, causing `T` to be deduced as
|
|
|
|
| 7479 |
If the *parameter-declaration* corresponding to `Pᵢ` is a function
|
| 7480 |
parameter pack, then the type of its *declarator-id* is compared with
|
| 7481 |
each remaining parameter type in the parameter-type-list of `A`. Each
|
| 7482 |
comparison deduces template arguments for subsequent positions in the
|
| 7483 |
template parameter packs expanded by the function parameter pack. During

partial ordering [[temp.deduct.partial]], if `Aᵢ` was originally a

- if `P` does not contain a function parameter type corresponding to

#### Deducing template arguments from a function declaration <a id="temp.deduct.decl">[[temp.deduct.decl]]</a>
|
| 7756 |
|
| 7757 |
In a declaration whose *declarator-id* refers to a specialization of a
|
| 7758 |
function template, template argument deduction is performed to identify
|
| 7759 |
the specialization to which the declaration refers. Specifically, this
|
| 7760 |
+
is done for explicit instantiations [[temp.explicit]], explicit
|
| 7761 |
+
specializations [[temp.expl.spec]], and certain friend declarations
|
| 7762 |
+
[[temp.friend]]. This is also done to determine whether a deallocation
|
| 7763 |
function template specialization matches a placement `operator new` (
|
| 7764 |
+
[[basic.stc.dynamic.deallocation]], [[expr.new]]). In all these cases,
|
| 7765 |
`P` is the type of the function template being considered as a potential
|
| 7766 |
match and `A` is either the function type from the declaration or the
|
| 7767 |
type of the deallocation function that would match the placement
|
| 7768 |
`operator new` as described in [[expr.new]]. The deduction is done as
|
| 7769 |
described in [[temp.deduct.type]].
|
| 7770 |
|
| 7771 |
If, for the set of function templates so considered, there is either no
|
| 7772 |
+
match or more than one match after partial ordering has been considered
|
| 7773 |
+
[[temp.func.order]], deduction fails and, in the declaration cases, the
|
| 7774 |
+
program is ill-formed.
|
| 7775 |
|
| 7776 |
### Overload resolution <a id="temp.over">[[temp.over]]</a>
|
| 7777 |
|
| 7778 |
+
When a call to the name of a function or function template is written
|
| 7779 |
+
(explicitly, or implicitly using the operator notation), template
|
| 7780 |
+
argument deduction [[temp.deduct]] and checking of any explicit template
|
| 7781 |
+
arguments [[temp.arg]] are performed for each function template to find
|
| 7782 |
+
the template argument values (if any) that can be used with that
|
| 7783 |
+
function template to instantiate a function template specialization that
|
| 7784 |
+
can be invoked with the call arguments. For each function template, if
|
| 7785 |
+
the argument deduction and checking succeeds, the *template-argument*s
|
| 7786 |
+
(deduced and/or explicit) are used to synthesize the declaration of a
|
| 7787 |
+
single function template specialization which is added to the candidate
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| 7788 |
functions set to be used in overload resolution. If, for a given
|
| 7789 |
function template, argument deduction fails or the synthesized function
|
| 7790 |
template specialization would be ill-formed, no such function is added
|
| 7791 |
to the set of candidate functions for that template. The complete set of
|
| 7792 |
candidate functions includes all the synthesized declarations and all of
|
| 7793 |
the non-template overloaded functions of the same name. The synthesized
|
| 7794 |
declarations are treated like any other functions in the remainder of
|
| 7795 |
overload resolution, except as explicitly noted in
|
| 7796 |
+
[[over.match.best]].[^14]

explicitly generated, is present in some translation unit.

[^3]: There is no such ambiguity in a default *template-argument*
|
| 8041 |
because the form of the *template-parameter* determines the
|
| 8042 |
allowable forms of the *template-argument*.
|
| 8043 |
|
| 8044 |
+
[^4]: A constraint is in disjunctive normal form when it is a
|
| 8045 |
+
disjunction of clauses where each clause is a conjunction of atomic
|
| 8046 |
+
constraints.
|
| 8047 |
|
| 8048 |
+
\[*Example 5*: For atomic constraints A, B, and C, the disjunctive
|
| 8049 |
+
normal form of the constraint A ∧ (B ∨ C) is (A ∧ B) ∨ (A ∧ C). Its
|
| 8050 |
+
disjunctive clauses are (A ∧ B) and (A ∧ C). — *end example*]
|
| 8051 |
+
|
| 8052 |
+
[^5]: A constraint is in conjunctive normal form when it is a
|
| 8053 |
+
conjunction of clauses where each clause is a disjunction of atomic
|
| 8054 |
+
constraints.
|
| 8055 |
+
|
| 8056 |
+
\[*Example 6*: For atomic constraints A, B, and C, the constraint
|
| 8057 |
+
A ∧ (B ∨ C) is in conjunctive normal form. Its conjunctive clauses
|
| 8058 |
+
are A and (B ∨ C). — *end example*]
|
| 8059 |
+
|
| 8060 |
+
[^6]: The identity of enumerators is not preserved.
|
| 8061 |
+
|
| 8062 |
+
[^7]: An array as a *template-parameter* decays to a pointer.
|
| 8063 |
+
|
| 8064 |
+
[^8]: There is no way in which they could be used.
|
| 8065 |
+
|
| 8066 |
+
[^9]: That is, declarations of non-template functions do not merely
|
| 8067 |
guide overload resolution of function template specializations with
|
| 8068 |
+
the same name. If such a non-template function is odr-used
|
| 8069 |
+
[[basic.def.odr]] in a program, it must be defined; it will not be
|
| 8070 |
implicitly instantiated using the function template definition.
|
| 8071 |
|
| 8072 |
+
[^10]: This includes friend function declarations.
|
| 8073 |
+
|
| 8074 |
+
[^11]: Friend declarations do not introduce new names into any scope,
|
| 8075 |
either when the template is declared or when it is instantiated.
|
| 8076 |
|
| 8077 |
+
[^12]: Default arguments are not considered to be arguments in this
|
| 8078 |
context; they only become arguments after a function has been
|
| 8079 |
selected.
|
| 8080 |
|
| 8081 |
+
[^13]: Although the *template-argument* corresponding to a
|
| 8082 |
*template-parameter* of type `bool` may be deduced from an array
|
| 8083 |
bound, the resulting value will always be `true` because the array
|
| 8084 |
bound will be nonzero.
|
| 8085 |
|
| 8086 |
+
[^14]: The parameters of function template specializations contain no
|
| 8087 |
template parameter types. The set of conversions allowed on deduced
|
| 8088 |
arguments is limited, because the argument deduction process
|
| 8089 |
produces function templates with parameters that either match the
|
| 8090 |
call arguments exactly or differ only in ways that can be bridged by
|
| 8091 |
the allowed limited conversions. Non-deduced arguments allow the
|
