I am wondering how to make a function friend of a class and define the function outside class if the function's template arguments include but are not limited to the class's template arguments.
For example, I have the following template class and template friend function:
template<int N> class Matrix;
template<typename T, int N> Matrix<N> operator*(const Matrix<N> &m1, const T &m2);
// class definition
template<int N>
class Matrix{
template<typename T>
friend Matrix<N> operator* (const Matrix<N> &m1, const T &m2);
};
// friend function definition
template<typename T, int N> Matrix<N> operator*(const Matrix<N> &m1, const T &m2)
{
xxx
}
If I compile:
Matrix<3> m;
m * 1.0;
I would get the following error:
test.cc:(.text+0x1c7): undefined reference to `Matrix<3> operator*<double>(Matrix<3> const&, double const&)'
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
