<p>The following limitations apply when instantiating templates that have non-type template parameters:
</p>
 <table class="t-rev-begin">
<tr class="t-rev t-until-cxx17"><td>
<ul><li> For integral and arithmetic types, the template argument provided during instantiation must be a <a href="constant_expression.html" title="cpp/language/constant expression">converted constant expression</a> of the template parameter's type (so certain implicit conversion applies).
</li><li> For pointers to objects, the template arguments have to designate the address of an object with static <a href="storage_duration.html" title="cpp/language/storage duration">storage duration</a> and a <a href="storage_duration.html#Linkage" title="cpp/language/storage duration">linkage</a> (either internal or external), or a constant expression that evaluates to the appropriate null pointer or <span class="t-lc"><a href="../types/nullptr_t.html" title="cpp/types/nullptr t">std::nullptr_t</a></span> value.
</li><li> For pointers to functions, the valid arguments are pointers to functions with linkage (or constant expressions that evaluate to null pointer values).
</li><li> For lvalue reference parameters, the argument provided at instantiation cannot be a temporary, an unnamed lvalue, or a named lvalue with no linkage (in other words, the argument must have linkage).
</li><li> For pointers to members, the argument has to be a pointer to member expressed as <span class="t-c"><span class="mw-geshi cpp source-cpp"><span class="sy3">&amp;</span>Class<span class="sy4">::</span><span class="me2">Member</span></span></span> or a constant expression that evaluates to null pointer or <span class="t-lc"><a href="../types/nullptr_t.html" title="cpp/types/nullptr t">std::nullptr_t</a></span> value.
</li></ul>
<p>In particular, this implies that string literals, addresses of array elements, and addresses of non-static members cannot be used as template arguments to instantiate templates whose corresponding non-type template parameters are pointers to objects.
