Template default arguments

by

Note:

Foo me; without template arguments is legal as of C++17. See this answer: https://stackoverflow.com/a/50970942/539997.

Original answer applicable before C++17:

You have to do:

Foo<> me;

The template arguments must be present but you can leave them empty.

Think of it like a function foo with a single default argument. The expression foo won’t call it, but foo() will. The argument syntax must still be there. This is consistent with that.
