Compiler Error C2910
Error Message
'function' : cannot be explicitly specialized
The compiler detected an attempt to explicitly specialize a function twice.
The following sample generates C2910:
// C2910.cpp
// compile with: /c
template <class T>
struct S;
template <> struct S<int> { void f() {} };
template <> void S<int>::f() {} // C2910 delete this specialization
C2910 can also be generated if you try to explicitly specialize a non-template member. That is, you can only explicitly specialize a function template.
The following sample generates C2910:
// C2910b.cpp
// compile with: /c
template <class T> struct A {
A(T* p);
};
template <> struct A<void> {
A(void* p);
};
template <class T>
inline A<T>::A(T* p) {}
template <> A<void>::A(void* p){} // C2910
// try the following line instead
// A<void>::A(void* p){}
This error will also be generated as a result of compiler conformance work that was done in Visual Studio .NET 2003:.
For code will be valid in the Visual Studio .NET 2003 and Visual Studio .NET versions of Visual C++, remove template <>
.
See Summary of Compile-Time Breaking Changes for more information.
The following sample generates C2910:
// C2910c.cpp
// compile with: /c
template <class T> class A {
void f();
};
template <> class A<int> {
void f();
};
template <> void A<int>::f() {} // C2910
// try the following line instead
// void A<int>::f(){} // OK
