I have had problems (possibly mine) with template template parameters and clang. The following toy example compiles and runs under g++ 4.7.0, not clang++ 3.0 (based on LLVM 3.0), both ubuntu 12.04.
Toy example (test_1.cpp):
#include <iostream>
#include <memory>
struct AFn
{
void operator()()
{
; // do something
}
};
template<typename T>
struct impl
{
T *backpointer_;
};
template<typename S, template <typename> class T>
struct implT
{
T<S> *backpointer_;
};
template<typename>
class AClass;
template<>
struct implT<AFn, AClass>
{
implT(std::string message) :
message_(message)
{}
void operator()()
{
std::cout << " : " << message_ << std::endl;
}
std::string message_;
};
template<typename Fn>
class AClass
{
private:
std::shared_ptr<implT<Fn, AClass> > p_;
public:
AClass(std::string message) :
p_(std::make_shared<implT<Fn, AClass> >(message))
{}
void call_me()
{
p_->operator()();
}
};
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
AClass<AFn> *A = new AClass<AFn>("AClass<AFn>");
A->call_me();
delete A;
return 0;
}
clang output:
*****@ely:~$ clang++ -std=c++11 test_1.cpp -o test_1
test_1.cpp:47:30: error: template argument for template template parameter must be a class template or

I can't make sense of the first error. It compiles and runs fine with gcc/g++ 4.7.0. Any help would be appreciated.

Template non-type arguments in C++It is also possible to use non-type arguments (basic/derived data types) i.e., in addition to the type argument T, it can also use other arguments such as strings, function names, constant expressions, and built-in data types.
Templates can be template parameters. In this case, they are called template parameters. The container adaptors std::stack, std::queue, and std::priority_queue use per default a std::deque to hold their arguments, but you can use a different container.
In UML models, template parameters are formal parameters that once bound to actual values, called template arguments, make templates usable model elements. You can use template parameters to create general definitions of particular types of template.
For example, given a specialization Stack<int>, “int” is a template argument. Instantiation: This is when the compiler generates a regular class, method, or function by substituting each of the template's parameters with a concrete type.
As noted, it's a Clang bug. AClass there is an injected-class-name, a unique grammatical construct which is both a class-name and a template-name.
Another workaround is to say AClass::template AClass. This avoids needing to qualify AClass with its enclosing namespace.
