The following code is accepted by g++ (4.1, 4.3), while I think it is invalid. ----------------------------- template <class T> struct A {};
template <> // This line should be removed template <class T> struct A<T*> {}; int main() { A<int> a; A<int *> b; } ---------------------- Note that the Comeau compiler rejects it with the following error message: "ComeauTest.c", line 6: error: this declaration cannot have multiple "template <...>" clauses struct A<T*> {}; ^ -- Summary: Accepts invalid code for partial specializations.
