    @Kühl's answer is the most permissive approach to declare a templated friend function of a templated class. However, there is one unapparent side effect of this approach: All template instantiations of Point are friends with all template instantiations of operator==(). An alternative is to make only the instantiation with the same type of Point a friend. Which is done by adding a in the friend declaration of operator==().

    template  class Point;
    
    template 
    bool operator== (Point, Point);
    
    template 
    class Point {
        // ...
        friend bool operator== (Point, Point);
    };
