Class Templates
•Clients can cause explicit instantiations to take place by placing the keyword template in front of a class name when defining objects.
•Explicit instantiations can be used to improve the performance of our compiles and links.
•It can be used to support better code generation and faster and more predictable compile and link times.
•The drawback is that a template class can only be explicitly instantiated once, for a particular set of
template actual
arguments.
