consider the following program: template <typename T> void function_template(T value) { std::cout << __PRETTY_FUNCTION__ << std::endl; } struct function_template_wrapper { template <typename T> static void call(T value) { function_template<T>(value); } }; int main(int argc, char* argv[]) { int i; function_template_wrapper::call<int>(i); } Is it possible to somehow parameterize the struct function_template_wrapper such that I can pass function_template as a parameter? E.g. function_template_wrapper<function_template>::call<int>(i); would call function_template<int>(i), and function_template_wrapper<other_function_template>::call<int>(i); would call other_function_template<int>(i) Underlying problem: I want to somehow pass a name of a function template to a class, that will instantiate the function template for a number of types (known at compile time), and store these instantiations in function objects, for later use.
