Spesialisasi parsial non-kelas dan non-variabel tidak diperbolehkan, tetapi seperti yang dikatakan:
Semua masalah dalam ilmu komputer dapat diselesaikan dengan tingkat tipuan lain. —— David Wheeler
Menambahkan kelas untuk meneruskan pemanggilan fungsi dapat menyelesaikan ini, berikut adalah contohnya:
template <class Tag, class R, class... Ts>
struct enable_fun_partial_spec;
struct fun_tag {};
template <class R, class... Ts>
constexpr R fun(Ts&&... ts) {
return enable_fun_partial_spec<fun_tag, R, Ts...>::call(
std::forward<Ts>(ts)...);
}
template <class R, class... Ts>
struct enable_fun_partial_spec<fun_tag, R, Ts...> {
constexpr static R call(Ts&&... ts) { return {0}; }
};
template <class R, class T>
struct enable_fun_partial_spec<fun_tag, R, T, T> {
constexpr static R call(T, T) { return {1}; }
};
template <class R>
struct enable_fun_partial_spec<fun_tag, R, int, int> {
constexpr static R call(int, int) { return {2}; }
};
template <class R>
struct enable_fun_partial_spec<fun_tag, R, int, char> {
constexpr static R call(int, char) { return {3}; }
};
template <class R, class T2>
struct enable_fun_partial_spec<fun_tag, R, char, T2> {
constexpr static R call(char, T2) { return {4}; }
};
static_assert(std::is_same_v<decltype(fun<int>(1, 1)), int>, "");
static_assert(fun<int>(1, 1) == 2, "");

static_assert(fun<char>(1, 1) == 2, "");

static_assert(fun<double>(1, 2, 3, 'a', "bbb") == 0, "");
static_assert(std::is_same_v<decltype(fun<unsigned>()), unsigned>, "");
static_assert(fun<unsigned>() == 0, "");
