>Description:
The following programs use each 2 template template parameters, using the keyword 'typename'. The first template template parameter is used in a member function, the second in the classes template-list.

The only difference in code is that the first program does use the keyword 'typename', whereas the second uses 'class'.
According to the standard, these can be used interchangeably in template - parameter-lists.
However, the first program does not compile, the second does compile fine.
 

#include <vector>

template <typename T>
class Factory
{
 	public:

   	template <template <typename> typename U>
   	U<T> * Create() { return new U<T>; }
};       

template <typename T, template <typename> typename Container>
class ContainerClass
{
	private:
   	Container<T> Container_;
};


int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{                
 	Factory<int> iFactory;
   std::vector<int> *iVec = iFactory.Create<std::vector>();

   delete iVec;           

   ContainerClass<double, std::vector> dContainer;

   return 0;
}

#include <vector>

template <typename T>

{
 	public:

   	template <template <typename> class U>
   	U<T> * Create() { return new U<T>; }
};

template <typename T, template <typename> class Container>
class ContainerClass
{
	private:
   	Container<T> Container_;
};


int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{                
 	Factory<int> iFactory;
   std::vector<int> *iVec = iFactory.Create<std::vector>();
   delete iVec;

   ContainerClass<double, std::vector> dContainer;

   return 0;
}
