The following example demonstrates how to set up template class and template class specializations in the Model.
Where:
• foo is a Template Class that has its Formal Template Parameters property set to typename T.
• foo<float> is a Template Class that has its Formal Template Parameters property blank.
• The Dependency(of Type Abstraction) must be stereotyped by the «C++ Dependency» stereotype with the tagged value of the C++ Specialization Parameters tag definition specifying the specialization parameters (float). In addition, the tagged value of the C++ In Implementation tag definition must be set to False to generate the #include in the header file.
If you generate foo, the header file contains the following text:
template<typename T> class foo {};
If you generate foo<float>, the header file contains the following text:
#include "foo.h" template<> class foo<float> {};
Note that the name of the foo<float> class is irrelevant. When generating the foo<float> class, 'foo' is generated from the name of the associated Template Class and 'float' is generated from the tagged value of the C++ Specialization Parameters tag definition on the Dependency.
Example with Template Class not present in the Model
The following example demonstrates how to set up template class specializations in a Model when the associated template class is not present in the Model.
foo<float> i s a template class specialization of a class named foo, which is not present in the Model:
• foo<float> is a Template Class that has its Formal Template Parameters property blank.
• foo<float> is stereotyped by the C++ Class stereotype.
• The specialization parameters (float) are specified through the tagged value of the C++ Specialization Parameters tag definition.
• The #include for the template class is generated through the C++ Header Include tag definition.
If you generate foo<float>, the header file contains the following text:
#include "foo.h" template<> class foo<float> {};
When generating the foo<float> class, 'foo' is generated from the Class name up to the opening angle bracket and 'float' is generated from the tagged value of the C++ Specialization Parameters tag definition.
