Hi Bootsters,
I have a problem that, I think, is worth of discussion.
When developing a library I came to a to a need of a trait class, containing properties
of different containers.
There is a default behavior and a specialization for different stl containers like
vector,
basic_string and etc.
To make the specialiazation, I have to include all the headers for specific containers
even,
if they are not used by the user code. ( trait class template does not gets
instantiated
for the specific container ).
I have tried to make forward declaration of std::vector and alike, but it does not
work all the time,
and, I think it is even forbiden by some compilers.
My question is:
Is there a correct way how to avoid these unwanted inclusions?
Or more specificaly:
How to define a partial specialization for a specific type, without including its
full definition?
Regards,
Pavol
