How can I provide template specializations for typedefs of the same type?

Question

A 3rd party SDK defines several typedefs, e.g.:

typedef unsigned char SDK_BYTE
typedef double SDK_DOUBLE
typedef unsigned char SDK_BOOLEAN

Answer 1

I believe this can be done with an unused template argument and an unused-but-unique struct declaration as the argument:

template
class variant_cast { /*...*/ };

template<>
SDK_BYTE variant_cast::operator()/*...*/

template<>
SDK_BOOLEAN variant_cast::operator()/*...*/
