模板中关键字“typename"和“class"的区别

问题描述

对于模板，我已经看到了两个声明:

For templates I have seen both declarations:

template < typename T >
template < class T >

有什么区别?

在下面的例子中这些关键字到底是什么意思(取自德语维基百科关于模板的文章)?

And what exactly do those keywords mean in the following example (taken from the German Wikipedia article about templates)?

template < template < typename, typename > class Container, typename Type >
class Example
{
     Container< Type, std::allocator < Type > > baz;
};

推荐答案

typename 和 class 在指定模板的基本情况下是可以互换的:

typename and class are interchangeable in the basic case of specifying a template:

template<class T>
class Foo
{
};

和

template<typename T>
class Foo
{
};

是等价的.

话虽如此，在某些特定情况下，typename 和 class 之间存在差异.

Having said that, there are specific cases where there is a difference between typename and class.

第一个是依赖类型的情况.typename 用于在引用依赖于另一个模板参数的嵌套类型时声明，例如本示例中的 typedef:

The first one is in the case of dependent types. typename is used to declare when you are referencing a nested type that depends on another template parameter, such as the typedef in this example:

template<typename param_t>
class Foo
{
    typedef typename param_t::baz sub_t;
};

您在问题中实际展示的第二个，尽管您可能没有意识到:

The second one you actually show in your question, though you might not realize it:

template < template < typename, typename > class Container, typename Type >

当指定一个模板模板时，class关键字必须像上面一样使用——它不能与typename<互换/code> 在这种情况下(注意:由于 C++17 在这种情况下允许两个关键字).

template class Foo<int>;
