<P>[Voted into WP at March, 2010 meeting.]</P>

<P>It is not clear whether the following definition of an explicit
specialization of a member function template is permitted or not:</P>

<PRE>
    template &lt;typenanme T&gt; struct S {
      template &lt;typename U&gt; void f();
    };
    template &lt;&gt; template &lt;typename U&gt;
      void S&lt;int&gt;::f() = delete;
</PRE>

<P>Is the explicit specialization the &#8220;first declaration&#8221; of
the member function template?</P>

<P>(See also <A HREF="845.html">issue 845</A>.)</P>

<P><B>Notes from the July, 2009 meeting:</B></P>

<P>The intent is that this usage should be supported.</P>

<P><B>Proposed resolution (October, 2009):</B></P>

<P>This issue is resolved by the resolution of <A HREF="845.html">issue 845</A>.</P>
