I'm curious as to where discusion of templates is occuring ....
For example:
In considering templates for current code, the following situation came
up:
template <class Key, class Value>
class Mapping {
static const int defaultTableSize;
static const int defaultMaximumDensity;
static const float defaultGrowthRate;
}
To initialize these static variables, a template of the form
template <class Key, class Value>
const int Mapping<Key,Value>::defaultTableSize = 11;
is needed -- however, E&S states that ``The declaration in a
template-declaration must declare or define a function or a class.''
It seems pretty clear that this type of assignment should be allowed.
