Talk:cpp/language/class template

Suggestion: move this page to cpp/language/templates

• There need to exist a page that briefly introduce all kinds of templates and the rules that apply to all templates. Currently there are lots of pages that refer to generic template declaration, e.g cpp/keyword/template, cpp/keyword/typename, cpp/language/declarations. These pages are using the wording " class template or function template". But as there are 3 kinds of templates now ( class template, function template and alias template), and c++14 will introduce the 4th kind of template (variable template), those statements are actually incorrect, and if enumerate all 4 kinds of templates, the statements can't be much simple and clear .
• This page is mainly talking about things that apply to all template declarations now. It needs a more proper title.

The page you're looking for is currently a redlink, templates, you can see a link to it from cpp/language. I'll put something together soon.--Cubbi (talk) 06:29, 15 February 2014 (PST)

What is a template parameter?

parameter-list is a non-empty comma-separated list of the template parameters, each of which is either non-type parameter, a type parameter, a template parameter, or a parameter pack of any of those.

That says a template parameter can be a template parameter. What does that mean?

Exactly what it says. A parameter of a template may be a template. Now wikilinked to the page that gets into details. --Cubbi (talk) 14:01, 23 October 2014 (PDT)
