Can a template function be called with missing template parameters in C++ ?

Is a limitation of the standard, floating point numbers are by nature not exact and the C++ did not specify any implementation for them.

Can a template function be called with missing template parameters in C++ ?

Line 2 is an error because the Standard does not allow to use floats as template parameters this is the reason why line 1 is correct.Line 5 is wrong because the class template requires the use of template argument list.

boost maintenance

Clean the project and delete the sdf file, it's unlikely that boost is responsible for such a problem.
