How do I pass a template as a template parameter to a template?

Question

I\'m trying to write something like:

          // I don\'t know how this particular syntax should look...
template Functo

This is just a "template template argument". The syntax is very close to what you imagined. Here it is:

template< template class FunctorT>
Something MergeSomething(const Something& lhs, const Something& rhs)
{
    Something result(lhs);
    if (lhs.IsUnsigned() && rhs.IsUnsigned())
    {
        result.SetUnsigned(FunctorT()(lhs.UnsignedValue(), rhs.UnsignedValue()));
    }
    else
    {
        result.SetSigned(FunctorT<__int64>()(lhs.SignedValue(), rhs.SignedValue()));
    }
    return result;
}

Your use-case should work like you posted it.
