55. Type Aliases

Question.2

A developer creates a type alias for a templated ring buffer:

template<typename T>
class RingBuffer { /* ... */ };

using AudioBuffer = RingBuffer<float>;
using CommandBuffer = RingBuffer<uint8_t>;

Can this be done with typedef?

Need Help? Refer to the Quick Guide below

Yes -- typedef works with templates identically
No -- typedef cannot create aliases for template specializations; using is required
Yes -- but only with C++17
No -- neither typedef nor using works with templates
