POIs it possible to narrow the friend relationship between classes and functions when multiple template types are involved?

    <p>Suppose I represent an image class as:</p> <pre><code>template &lt;typename Pixel&gt; class Image { ... }; </code></pre> <p>I would need my own swap function to prevent extra copying of images, so I would need to make it a friend of Image. If inside Image I write:</p> <pre><code>template &lt;typename T&gt; friend void swap(Image&lt;T&gt;&amp;, Image&lt;T&gt;&amp;); </code></pre> <p>I get what I want, but it makes all swap functions friends of all Image classes. So I can narrow the friend relationship as follows:</p> <pre><code>template &lt;typename Pixel&gt; class Image; template &lt;typename T&gt; void swap(Image&lt;T&gt;&amp;, Image&lt;T&gt;&amp;); template &lt;typename Pixel&gt; class Image { ... friend void swap&lt;&gt;(Image&amp;, Image&amp;); }; </code></pre> <p>as described in <a href="http://www.parashift.com/c++-faq-lite/templates.html#faq-35.16" rel="nofollow noreferrer">C++ FAQ-lite 35.16</a>.</p> <p>Now suppose I also have a convolution function that can take floating-point or integral kernels:</p> <pre><code>template &lt;typename Pixel, typename KernelValue&gt; Image&lt;Pixel&gt; convolve(const Image&lt;Pixel&gt;&amp;, const Kernel&lt;KernelValue&gt;&amp;); </code></pre> <p>Convolution needs access to Image's raw memory, so it too must be a friend. However, I would like to <em>partially narrow</em> the friendship so that convolve is a friend for all KernelValues but only the particular Pixel type, something like:</p> <pre><code>template &lt;typename KernelValue&gt; friend Image&lt;Pixel&gt; convolve(const Image&lt;Pixel&gt;&amp;, const Kernel&lt;KernelValue&gt;&amp;); </code></pre> <p>inside the Image definition. The compiler does not like this (or other variants) at all, mainly because it doesn't match the original function declaration, so the private pointer can't be accessed. Is it possible to get what I want here, or should I settle for the "more friendly" version?</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
