Advantage of using the vs template function and type inference method

Question

I read quite a few posts about type variable inference, both with and without auto. I think I have two questions.

Let's take a simple range function as an example. I can make it a template and name it:

template <class T, T min, T max> bool inRange(T value) {
   return min <= value && value <= max;
}

bool bbb = inRange<int, 5, 10>(7);

or i can do:

template <class T> bool inRange(T min, T max, T value) {
    return min <= value && value <= max;
}

bool bbb = inRange(5, 10, 7);

Questions

• Is there a way (without creating multiple templates 1 for short, int, long, double, etc.) that the type can be inferred so that the template can be called using inRange<min, max>(value)

• Are there any advantages inRange<min, max>(value)regardinginRange(min, max, value)

Answer 1

• Not now. There is a suggestion to add this to a future version of C ++: http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2015/n4469.html
• inRange<T, min, max>(value) , , inRange<min, max>(value). min max , inRange(min, max, value) - . , , .
