Yes (until we learn that some compilers choke on them). IIRC, I even had
some patches that use them but perhaps they have not been posted or
committed yet. Needless to say, their use must be justified (but that is
true for virtually any code).

Everything useful that is not prohibited is allowed :-).

When the patch with member templates is posted for review, the reviewers
will evaluate your decision to use them. There is no need to secure
their acceptance in advance by hand waiving about hypothetical needs IMO.


HTH,

Alex.

We dont have any policy about it that I'm aware of. If it is valid C++
then I think it should be acceptible.

What is the use-case you have for doing it?

[squid-dev] Template methods inside normal classes

2016-10-18 Thread Christos Tsantilas

Hi all,

Is it valid to use template methods inside normal classes for squid?
I know they are working, I am just asking if it is acceptable by squid 
policy.
