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

Answer 1

Define the specialization outside the class as:

template <> 
bool VarData::IsTypeOf < int > (int index) const 
{  //^^^^^^^^^ don't forget this! 
     return false;
}

template <> 
bool VarData::IsTypeOf < double > (int index) const 
{   //^^^^^^^ don't forget this!
     return false;
}
