Press F12 (F11 using Visual C++ 2.0 key mapping) to jump to the definition of the function. Instead of going to the definition of the function, you
will be taken back to the point where the function was instantiated (that
is, the first place the function was used).
Press ALT+F12 (CTRL+F11 using Visual C++ 2.0 key mapping) or select Browse from the Tools menu. Type the name of your template function in the Browse window, select Definitions and References from the list, and click OK. You will see there is no entry in the Definitions and References box under Definitions.
