max.cpp

C++ Primer的第三版结合了Stanley Lippman的实践经验和Josée Lajoie对于ANSI/ISO标准C++的深入理解。这本指导书的第三版已经被重新改写过

#ifndef MAX_C
#define MAX_C

// generic template definition
template <class T>
        T max( T t1, T t2 ) {
                return (t1 > t2 ? t1 : t2);
}

#include <cstring>

// const char* explicit specialization:
// overrides instantiation from the generic template definition

typedef const char *PCC;
template<> PCC max< PCC >( PCC s1, PCC s2 ) {
        return ( strcmp( s1, s2 ) > 0 ? s1 : s2 );
}
