Re: What am I missing? (template magic gone wrong)

From the following code, what am I doing wrong? (I'm using VS2008,
which is better at templates than I am, so I assume I'm missing
something.)
struct SequenceDelete
{
template<typename ptr_type>
void operator()(const ptr_type *p) const
{
delete p;
}
};
struct AssociativeDelete
{
template<typename pair_type>
void operator()(const pair_type &p) const
{
delete p.second;
}
};
template<template<typename, typename> class container_type, typename
K, typename V>
void ContainerDelete(container_type<K, V> &c)
{
std::for_each(c.begin(), c.end(), AssociativeDelete());
c.clear();
}
template<template<typename> class container_type, typename T>
void ContainerDelete(container_type<T> &c)
{
std::for_each(c.begin(), c.end(), SequenceDelete());
c.clear();
}
void Foo()
{
std::map<int, int *> my_map;
for(int i = 0; i != 10; ++i)
my_map[i] = new int();
std::vector<int *> my_vector;
for(int i = 0; i != 10; ++i)
my_vector[i] = new int();
This should be my_vector.push_back( new int() );
The declarations of vector and map are:
template <typename VaTy, typename AlTy = std::allocator<VaTy> >
class vector;
template <typename KeyTy, typename VaTy, typename SortTy = ... ,
typename AlTy = ... >
class map;
ContainerDelete(my_vector);
For me this line failed to compile. The compiler said: ambiguity
between two functions.
And it is because of default value supplied to allocator type (2nd
arg).
ContainerDelete(my_map); // this line fails to compile -- it
treats it as the second template version
}
