Interview about codebrowser.dev; Qt Insight Beta; CXX-Qt 0.4.0 released - Video

This is the second of four episodes in a mini series on templates. The aim of the series is to help you understand some relatively complex template code.
In this episode we will see how to "overload" templates, more specifically, we will see two real world examples:
- The first is a sort function which has a general implementation, but also a specialized version for the type char.
- The second is a vector implementation that both has a general implementation for any type, and a specialization for booleans,
which make the vector much more space efficient.
- Finally, we will see an example of how to make C++ tell us what type a template parameter represent.
