类模板可以部分专用化，因此，生成的类仍是模板。部分专用化允许模板代码的特定部分地自定义输入情况，例如:
模板有多个类型，只有某些需要专用。结果为余下的类型参数化的模板。
模板只有一个类型，但是，专用化用于指针是必需的，引用，指向成员的指针或函数指针类型。专用化仍在指向或引用的类型的模板。
示例
// partial_specialization_of_class_templates.cpp
template <class T> struct PTS {
enum {
IsPointer = 0,
IsPointerToDataMember = 0
};
};
template <class T> struct PTS<T*> {
enum {
IsPointer = 1,
IsPointerToDataMember = 0
};
};
template <class T, class U> struct PTS<T U::*> {
enum {
IsPointer = 0,
IsPointerToDataMember = 1
};
};
struct S{};
extern "C" int printf_s(const char*,...);
int main() {
S s, *pS;
int S::*ptm;
printf_s("PTS<S>::IsPointer == %d PTS<S>::IsPointerToDataMember == %d\n",
PTS<S>::IsPointer, PTS<S>:: IsPointerToDataMember);
printf_s("PTS<S*>::IsPointer == %d PTS<S*>::IsPointerToDataMember ==%d\n"
, PTS<S*>::IsPointer, PTS<S*>:: IsPointerToDataMember);
printf_s("PTS<int S::*>::IsPointer == %d PTS"
"<int S::*>::IsPointerToDataMember == %d\n",
PTS<int S::*>::IsPointer, PTS<int S::*>::
IsPointerToDataMember);
}
如果您有一个采用任何类型 T的模板集合类，可以创建带任何指针类型 **T***的部分专用化。下面的代码演示集合类模板 Bag ，并收集在复制之前取消引用指针类型设置为数组的指针的部分专用化输入。集合然后存储指向的值。原始模板，只有指针在集合中存储，从而使数据很容易受到删除或修改。集合中的此特殊指针版本，检查的代码在 add 方法的 NULL 指针添加。
// partial_specialization_of_class_templates2.cpp
// compile with: /EHsc
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
// Original template collection class.
template <class T> class Bag {
T* elem;
int size;
int max_size;
public:
Bag() : elem(0), size(0), max_size(1) {}
void add(T t) {
T* tmp;
if (size + 1 >= max_size) {
max_size *= 2;
tmp = new T [max_size];
for (int i = 0; i < size; i++)
tmp[i] = elem[i];
tmp[size++] = t;
delete[] elem;
elem = tmp;
}
else
elem[size++] = t;
}
void print() {
for (int i = 0; i < size; i++)
cout << elem[i] << " ";
cout << endl;
}
};
// Template partial specialization for pointer types.
// The collection has been modified to check for NULL
// and store types pointed to.
template <class T> class Bag<T*> {
T* elem;
int size;
int max_size;
public:
Bag() : elem(0), size(0), max_size(1) {}
void add(T* t) {
T* tmp;
if (t == NULL) { // Check for NULL
cout << "Null pointer!" << endl;
return;
}
if (size + 1 >= max_size) {
max_size *= 2;
tmp = new T [max_size];
for (int i = 0; i < size; i++)
tmp[i] = elem[i];
tmp[size++] = *t; // Dereference
delete[] elem;
elem = tmp;
}
else
elem[size++] = *t; // Dereference
}
void print() {
for (int i = 0; i < size; i++)
cout << elem[i] << " ";
cout << endl;
}
};
int main() {
Bag<int> xi;
Bag<char> xc;
Bag<int*> xp; // Uses partial specialization for pointer types.
xi.add(10);
xi.add(9);
xi.add(8);
xi.print();
xc.add('a');
xc.add('b');
xc.add('c');
xc.print();
int i = 3, j = 87, *p = new int[2];
*p = 8;
*(p + 1) = 100;
xp.add(&i);
xp.add(&j);
xp.add(p);
xp.add(p + 1);
p = NULL;
xp.add(p);
xp.print();
}
下面的示例定义了带有对任何两个类型然后定义专用该模板类部分专用化的模板类，以便一个类型为 int。专用化定义其他排序实现简单的上推分类法基于该整数的方法。
