Is it possible to access a static field of a class template without instantiating the template?

Question

C++ / C#

Is there a syntax construct in C++ to access a public static constant in a class template from the outside?

Example:

template <typename T, int32_t maxSize>
class CircularBuffer
{
private:

 /* Some code */

public:
static const int32_t  MEMBER_TO_BE_ACCESSIBLE_OUTSIDE = 0;
};

Because writing something like

CircularBuffer<int, 0>::MEMBER_TO_BE_ACCESSIBLE_OUTSIDE

, adding "dummy" template parameters is somehow too crutch.

Answer 1

class CircularBufferBase
{
public:
    static const int32_t MEMBER_TO_BE_ACCESSIBLE_OUTSIDE = 0;
};

template <typename T, int32_t maxSize>
class CircularBuffer : public CircularBufferBase {
    ...
}

CircularBufferBase::MEMBER_TO_BE_ACCESSIBLE_OUTSIDE
