Hello,
$ g++ -c err.cc
err.cc:7: error: prototype for 'void C<int>::foo(const int&)' does not match
any in class 'C<int>'
err.cc:3: error: candidate is: void C<T>::foo(const T&) [with T = int]
err.cc:7: error: template definition of non-template 'void C<int>::foo(const
int&)'
$
Note that substituting 'int' for 'T' in the only candidate (reported in
error line 2) gives exactly the prototype in error line 1. Yes, the
third error line gives a clue, but the natural way to read error
messages is top-to-bottom, and the first two lines are really
puzzling. It'd be much better if the first two lines of the error
messages were not output at all, I think.
$ cat err.cc
template <typename T>
struct C {
void foo(T const&) {}
};
template <typename T>
void C<int>::foo(int const&) {}
