Firstly because I think he already gets enough Email, and secondly because I'm not quite sure about what I found. Especially, I need some clarification about pp. 359f: > template class basic_string { > // ... > }; > template > > int compare (const basic_string&, const basic_string&); > typedef basic_string string; > void f (string swede1, string swede2) { > compare (swede1, swede2); > compare (swede1, swede2, LITERATE); > } > I pass the comparison criteria as a template parameter because > that's a way of passing several operations without imposing a > run-time cost. I think this contradicts with page 351: > void g (Array& a) { > f (a); > f (a); > f (a); > } Thus page 351 indicates that you specify explicit function template arguments with angle brackets, whereas the "compare" function above seems to use an additional function argument for that. Shouldn't page 360 read void f (string swede1, string swede2) { compare (swede1, swede2); compare (swede1, swede2); } ? -- Harald Fuchs
