Template specialization and inheritance

Question

Suppose I have a template class with a lot of functions and I want to specialize them to change only a few of them and keep the other ones exactly as specified in the base templ

Answer 1

Another solution would be to add a level of indirection in the function you want to redefine, i.e.

template
struct foo
{
    template
    void bar_impl()
    {
        //generic function
    }

    void bar()
    {
        bar_impl();
    }
};

Then you can specialize each function individually for each type or specialize the whole type as wanted.
