Compiler Error C2908

explicit specialization; 'template' has already been instantiated

A specialization of the primary template occurs before the explicit specialization.

The following sample generates C2908:

// C2908.cpp
// compile with: /c
template<class T> class X {};

void f() {
X<int> x;   //specialization and instantiation
            //of X<int>
}

template<> class X<int> {}  // C2908, explicit specialization
