No, you can't add virtual at the this moment - virtual is not part of the
type.

However, if you want to get two different Test's classes - one with virtual
Test2 and another with non-virtual Test2, use extra class:

template<class virtualBase>
class Mediator : virtual virtualBase
{
};

Now you can have both
Test<Test2> testWithNonVirtualTest2;
and
test<Mediator<Test2> > testWithVirtualTest2;

Is it legal to use "virtual" in template parameters as example below?

class Test2 {
};

template<class Base>
class Test : public Base {
};

Test<virtual Test2> test;

No.  Virtual is not part of the type.  Templates aren't just preprocessor
macros.  You can't put public or private in there either.   Why do you th=
ink
you need to do this?
