[cfe-dev] Why ClassTemplatePartialSpecializationDecl derived from ClassTemplateSpecializationDecl and not from ClassTemplateDecl ?

[Roman Popov via cfe-dev]

Hi all,

One thing that confused me in Clang AST is
that ClassTemplatePartialSpecializationDecl is derived
from ClassTemplateSpecializationDecl, and thus is a TypeDecl.

What is the reasoning behind this decision?

I thought that partial specialization is still a template in C++, and only
when it is fully specialized it becomes a real class.
