The Template Implementation
***************************

   The C++ template(1) facility, which effectively allows use of
variables for types in declarations, is one of the newest features of
the language.

   GNU C++ is one of the first compilers to implement many of the
template facilities currently defined by the ANSI committee.

   Nevertheless, the template implementation is not yet complete.  This
chapter maps the current limitations of the GNU C++ template
implementation.

Template limitations: Limitations for function and class templates
Function templates: Limitations for function templates
Class templates: Limitations for class templates
Template debugging: Debugging information for templates ---------- Footnotes ---------- (1) Class templates are also known as "parameterized types".
