GCC error: explicit specialization in non-namespace scope

Question

I am trying to port the following code. I know the standard doesn\'t allow explicit specialization in non-namescape scope and I should use overloading, but I just can\'t fin

You just have to move your specializations of the member templates outside of the class body.

class VarData
{
public:
    template < typename T > bool IsTypeOf (int index) const
    {
        return IsTypeOf_f::IsTypeOf(this, index);
    }
};

template <> bool VarData::IsTypeOf < int > (int index) const
{
    return false;
}

template <> bool VarData::IsTypeOf < double > (int index) const
{
    return false;
}
