andre.horst	Posted - Sep 04 2008 : 04:24:51 AM It would be nice if VAX were able to create a specialized implementation for a template method or function. F.e. template< class T > void F( T p ) { T foo ; } After "Create Implementation" from the refactor men++ i choose or write down the type for T and get the special implementation for it. Note that should also work for more than one template argument. A bit difficult to handle could be default template arguments. Especially more than one template argument could be interesting to refactor, if all combinations for the given type-replacements will be generated automatically.

andre.horst	Posted - Sep 16 2008 : 05:54:06 AM Ok. This works, but that isnt that mighty as i wanted it. But i understand that the use-case isnt reuired very often. Btw: renaming of template arguments is still a missing feature.
feline	Posted - Sep 10 2008 : 09:56:49 AM Have you considered using the IDE's Find and Replace feature? Just copy the template and then use Find and Replace to replace "T" with the type. Turn on whole word and case matching and this should do what you want.
andre.horst	Posted - Sep 04 2008 : 08:17:36 AM Yes, thats right. But for some circumstances it is better to have the implementation for a specific type (special and optimized handling/programming for that type) and to avoid inlining all the time. Thus the code gets smaller if you have a call to a specialized complex template method instead of the whole code be inlined again and again and faster if you can optimize for a specific type.
feline	Posted - Sep 04 2008 : 08:05:08 AM I do not understand what you want. The compiler creates an instance of a template class / function its self. This is what templates are for.
