In fact, only class templates and variable templates support it. Variable templates can actually be seen as syntactic sugar for class templates, so rounding it up, only class templates truly support partial specialization. The lack of partial specialization can make some code very difficult to write.</p> https://www.ykiko.me/en/articles/682031684/ Sat, 10 Feb 2024 15:15:47 +0000 https://www.ykiko.me/en/articles/682031684/ <blockquote> <p>This article was translated by AI using Gemini 2.5 Pro from the original Chinese version.
