Hello,

What is the correct syntax for template instantiation and
specialization?

From my copy of the DWP April 95 I gather:

template<class T>
T max(T a, T b) { return a>b?a:b; }

template int max<int>(int, int);	//instantiation
/* OR: */ 
template int max<>(int, int);		//instantiation

const char* max<const char*>max(const char* a, const char* b)
{  /* specialization */ }
/* OR: */
const char* max<>(const char* a, const char* b)
{  /* specialization */ }

My questions are:
1. Is the above correct? I heard there are some recent changes
in this area.
2. Is the following still legal:
   int max(int, int);	//instantiation??

Thanks!
Marian
