template function (vector<int> vs. vector<gsl_vector*>)

[zl2k]

hi, there,
I have
void Foo1(vector<int>& v){
....
A.process(v[i]);
....
}

void Foo2(vector<gsl_vector*>& v){
....
A.process(v[i]);
....
}

How can I integrate Foo1 and Foo2 into a template function? Thanks.

Assuming (living dangerously) that I'm not missing a subtlety, what's
wrong with the obvious? :)

template <typename T>
void Foo(vector<T>& v)

{
....
A.process(v[i]);
....
}

Cheers,
Stu

Why is

template<class T>
void foo_template(vector<T>& v) {

....
A.process(v[i]);
....
}

insufficient?

Is something like this...

template<typename T> get_t(T& t)
{
return t;
}

template<typename T> get_t(T*& t)
{
return *t;
}

template<typename T>

void foo_template(vector<T>& v)
{

T& get_t(v[i]);

A.process(t);
}

....what you're after (it needs some more work/thought).

Louis.
