[Insight-users] Re: [Insight-developers] template <>

[Ashish Poddar]

the error may be linked with something in your code where you are using that 
templatized class..

as an example if u have 

template <class T>
void myfun(T);

and when calling this function u use

myfun<int>(4); // this is explicit specialization of the template parameter
myfun(4); // this is implicit specialization of the template parameter

so this warning must be linked with some similar code...

HTH,
with regards,
Ashish.
