Hello, I've come across a possible issue with GCC's adherence to the C++ standard for handling template code (gcc version 4.3.2 20081105 from Fedora 10).
The following code compiles fine under GCC (using -pedantic and -std=c++98), but fails under Microsoft's C++ 2008 SP1. Microsoft explains this on http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cx7k7hcf(VS.80).aspx Is GCC or Microsoft at fault ? Code (from a header file): template<typename T1> struct get_num_type { typedef T1 num_type; }; template<> // this line causes the problem template<typename T2> struct get_num_type< std::complex<T2> > { typedef T2 num_type; }; MS compilers gives: error C2910: 'arma::get_pod_type<std::complex<_Other>>' : cannot be explicitly specialized
