typename keyword in C++ template

The purpose of this document is to describe the reasoning behind the inclusion of the typename keyword in standard C++, and explain where, when, and how it can and can't be used.

Note: This page is correct (AFAIK) for C++98/03. The rules have been loosened in C++11.

6. How to write a C++11 template that can take a const iterator

This is a paragraph.

10. cv (const and volatile) type qualifiers

Appear in any type specifier, including decl-specifier-seq of declaration grammar, to specify constness or volatility of the object being declared or of the type being named.

1. const - defines that the type is constant.
2. volatile - defines that the type is volatile.
11. Explicit (full) template specialization

Allows customizing the template code for a given set of template arguments.

12. Determine Information about System, User, Processes, Hardware...
