Understanding C++ template partial specialization with pointer datatype arguments

When I compile the below code, I am getting error as

Code:
template<typename T> T AddFun(T i, T j) {
    return i + j;
}

template<> T* AddFun<T*>(T* i, T* j) {
    return new T(*i + *j);
}

int main() {
    int n = AddFun<int>(10, 20);
    int i = 10, j = 20;
    int* p = AddFun<int*>(&i, &j);
}

9: error: ‘T’ does not name a type
13: error: expected unqualified-id before ‘int’



If I change the prototype to
Code:
template<typename T> T* AddFun<T*>(T* i, T* j)

then I get the error as 9: error: function template partial specialization ‘AddFun<T*>’ is not allowed.

Kindly help me to correct this problem.

pass a pointer-to-pointer, or return a pointer?

If one wants to get a start address of a array or a string or a block of memory via a function, there are at least two methods to achieve it: (1) one is to pass a pointer-to-pointer parameter, like: int my_malloc(int size, char **pmem) { *pmem=(char *)malloc(size); if(*pmem==NULL)... (11 Replies)

mktemp(3C)						   Standard C Library Functions 						mktemp(3C)

NAME
mktemp - make a unique file name from a template SYNOPSIS
#include <stdlib.h> char *mktemp(char *template); DESCRIPTION
The mktemp() function replaces the contents of the string pointed to by template with a unique file name, and returns template. The string in template should look like a file name with six trailing 'X's; mktemp() will replace the 'X's with a character string that can be used to create a unique file name. Only 26 unique file names per thread can be created for each unique template. RETURN VALUES
The mktemp() function returns the pointer template. If a unique name cannot be created, template points to a null string. ERRORS
No errors are defined. EXAMPLES
Example 1: Generate a filename. The following example replaces the contents of the "template" string with a 10-character filename beginning with the characters "file" and returns a pointer to the "template" string that contains the new filename. #include <stdlib.h> ... char *template = "/tmp/fileXXXXXX"; char *ptr; ptr = mktemp(template); USAGE
Between the time a pathname is created and the file opened, it is possible for some other process to create a file with the same name. The mkstemp(3C) function avoids this problem and is preferred over this function. ATTRIBUTES
