Virtual method of a specialized class

Question

Is it possible to define a virtual method on a class which has been specialized? For example

template
<class T_DataType>
struct Interface
{
T_DataType data;
...
};

struct NewInterface : Interface<int>
{
virtual
int return_data() = 0;
...
}

struct SubInterface : NewInterface
{
virtual
int return_data();
...
}

int SubInterface::return_data(){ return data;}

Yes. Also, there's no "class which has been specialized" here. — Barry, Mar 01 '16 at 19:04
Yes but I tried something similar with the compiler for cuda and it did not work, so I was wondering if this was simply not valid in c++. — eaponte, Mar 01 '16 at 19:43

Yes, the code is valid and works as intended.

And you don't specialize SubInterface in this case, you inherit it from template specialization.
