These messages mean that
1. the correct place for specializing a member function template is
*outside* the class definition, in the namespace that the class
belongs to
2. the class template that the member function template belongs to
must be explicitly specialized in that specialization as well;
i.e. you can't provide an explicit specialization of f for 3 for all
types V
E.g. this is a correct explicit specialization of f:
template <class V>
class B
{
template<int i>
inline void f(V v) {}
};
template <>
template <>
void B<unsigned int>::f<3>(unsigned int i) {}
