Re: Implicit and Explicit Template Instantiation

I would like to create a class which can take either of the videos but I
got lost...

class Processor {
public:
Processor();
LoadData(Frame<T> * data);
protected:
Frame<T> * mydata;
}

My main would look like (the two videos should be usable):

int main(void) {
Video16bit * vid = new Video16bit();
// Video8bit * vid = new Video8bit();
Processor * pro = new Processor();
pro->LoadData(vid);
delete whatever is required;
}

The problem is that the creation of my processor depends on the type of
template and ... I dunno how to pass it cleanly.

My current solution is to template the Processor as well. However, I could
make a mistake of type: I would like the T of the processor defined by the
loaded video...
Does it make sense?

Another way to see it would be: can I do a
Processor<vid->getType()> * pro> = new Processor();
