Currying template with parameter from another template












6















I have class Foo, which has two template parameters, A and B:



template<typename A, typename B>
struct Foo {};


Also I have class Base, which has one template template parameter:



template<template<typename B> typename Foo>
struct Base {};


I want to write class Derived assuming the following:





  • Derived has one template parameter (A)


  • Derived extends class Base


  • Derived passes as template parameter to class Base class Foo, but with one parameter "currying" (A)


How can I do this?





Here is my (not working) solution:



template<template<typename B> typename Foo>
struct Base {};

template<typename A, typename B>
struct Foo {};

template<template<typename A, typename B> typename Foo, typename A>
struct BindFirst {
template<typename B>
using Result = Foo<A, B>;
};

template<typename A>
struct Derived : Base<

// error is here
typename BindFirst<Foo, A>::Result

> {};


Which gives me error:




template argument for template template parameter must be a class template or type alias template

    BindFirst<Foo, A>::template Result (no typename, it's a template).

The template Base expects a template as the first parameter but you attempt to pass a dependent type (indicated by typename), hence the error message. Moreover, the nested alias Result inside BindFirst is a template and therefore would require a template parameter for use with typename. So instead of



typename BindFirst<Foo, A>::Result


you have to tell the compiler that Result is in fact a template, using



BindFirst<Foo, A>::template Result
