Best alternative to a typedef for a function template?

Question

What I\'d like to do is something like this:

template 
DataType myFunc(DataType in)
{
   ...
}

typedef myFunc myFunc_i;

myFunc         


        

Answer 1

Code Example:

#include 


template 
T sqr(T a){
    return a*a;
}

auto s = sqr;
int main() {

    std::cout<

prints 9, that means that used int function
auto requires c++0x, you may use real typename instead, but it's ugly and you'll need check changing signature too. Besides, this code, may disallow your compiler to inline this function

• As for me, it's often better use full name with <>

• In your case you need not use <> because myFunc is enough(DataType may be got from argument type)
