hi,
is it possible to do a template specialization for template types?
it should look something like that:

template<class T>
class Test
{
    public:
        Test();
};

// specialization of the constructor
template<class R>
Test<complex<R> >::Test<complex<R> >()
{
....
}

thanks,
ec

Yes. It is called "partial specialization".

: // specialization of the constructor
: template<class R>
: Test<complex<R> >::Test<complex<R> >()

Close:

  template <class R>
  Test<complex<R> >::Test() { ... }

And would this work too?

template <template <class R> outer>
Test<outer<int> >::Test() { ... }

Thanks,
