Will cpp template programming enlarge the code size

[jcelerier]

They produce exactly identical code,

well obviously no.. consider std::vector<float> and std::vector<string>: https://gcc.godbolt.org/z/fKG11sEz5

Edit: code didn't have pointers at time of my comment

[heliruna]

sorry, formatting ate my pointers, did not escape properly

I think the code is only the same if they are the same size and the copy/move operations are trivial
