It's simpler than you think. All it means is that when you instantiate the class, you also instantiate the member function. Since there's a different version of the class for each combination of template parameters, there's also a different version of the member function, even though the declaration of the member function doesn't show the <...> notation. -- Ciao, Paul --- [ comp.std.c++ is moderated.
