Dynamic dispatching of template functions?

Question

Is it possible to decide in run-time which template function to call? Something like:

template
struct A {
    static void foo() {/*...*/}
};

vo         


        

Answer 1

Template argument must be known at compile time. So there is no way for compiler to pass A::foo().

If you want work around then you have to make bar() also a template:

template
void bar() {
    A::f();   // ok
}

For that, you must know argument to bar() at compile time.
