And the template arguments are among these properties.This is related to type erasure.I think the compiler should allow a way to access the template arguments of a function pointer.Because when we pass a function pointer generated from a function template usually we doA<foo<T1,T2>> a;Which is mandatory to avoid overload ambiguity. And at this point, we see clearly the template arguments, and i don't see why the compiler can't see them!Sent from my Galaxy
