Function specialization with array argument

Question

Is it possible to specialize a function for a specific array type?

For example having a template function:

template <typename T, size_t size>
void process(T (&arr)[size])
{
    // do smth
}

Could a function specialization for T=uint8_t be done in such case? Or is the only reasonable solution here to use an overload like the one below?

template <size_t size>
void process(uint8_t (&arr)[size])
{
    // do smth else
}

Thanks for suggestions and comments.

Thanks for the tip and pointing me to the right post. – Dusteh Apr 06 '17 at 06:04 — Dusteh, Apr 06 '17 at 06:04

It is not possible to specialize function templates partially, so you will probably have to use a separate overload.
