How to force template to be derived from BaseClassA?

Question

Is there any possibility to force a template to be from a certain base class so that I can call the base class function?

template 
void SomeMan         


        

Answer 1

The easiest solution is to add a snippet of code that compiles only if it's what you expected:

template 
void SomeManager::Add(T t)
{
    assert((Base const*)&t); // T must inherit from Base to allow T*->Base* conversion.
    t.CallTsBaseClassFunction();
    //... do other stuff
}
