专门化模板类

Question

I just created a template class

template< typename T >
class LinkedList {
private:
    struct LinkedListElement {
        T *m_data;
        LinkedListElement *m_next;
    };
    LinkedListElement *head;
public:
    void insert(T *elem);
    void remove(T *elem);
    T *find(const char *name);
};

and I want to customize what find method does for a certain class.

So, when I do my template specialization do I have to re-write the hole template implementation code or just t *find(like when subclassing)?

This is the first time I create my own template;)

Help would be appreciated.

Answer 1

For this case, you can specialize the member function only

template<> inline MyType *LinkedList<MyType>::find(const char *name) { 
    /* ... */ 
}
