class UString {
public:
    template<typename T, typename std::enable_if<!std::is_same<T, bool>::value>::type* = nullptr>
    T To() const;
    template<typename T, typename std::enable_if<std::is_same<T, bool>::value>::type* = nullptr>
    bool To() const;
};


template<typename T, typename std::enable_if<std::is_same<T, bool>::value>::type*>
bool UString::To() const {
    // ...
}

Can I move bool To() const into cpp file?

If you move it to a cpp file, the specialization will only apply in that cpp file. – Drew Dormann Jan 28 '23 at 03:30
@DrewDormann The function has nothing to do with the template type. So I thought there should be a way to just put it in a cpp. – user1633272 Jan 28 '23 at 04:02

Why is there a SFINAE condition? Can't you specialize the function? – HolyBlackCat Jan 28 '23 at 04:09
@HolyBlackCat Yes I should. – user1633272 Jan 28 '23 at 04:23

Then moving it to the .cpp file should work. – HolyBlackCat Jan 28 '23 at 04:25
