The use of templates as a metaprogramming technique requires two distinct operations: a template must be defined, and a defined template must be [[Instance (computer science)|instantiated]]. The template definition describes the generic form of the generated source code, and the instantiation causes a specific set of source code to be generated from the generic form in the template.
Template metaprogramming is [[Turing-complete]], meaning that any computation expressible by a computer program can be computed, in some form, by a template metaprogram.<ref name=Veldhuizen2003>{{cite
Templates are different from ''[[Macro (computer science)#Programming macros|macros]]''. A macro is a piece of code that executes at compile time and either performs textual manipulation of code to-be compiled (e.g. [[C++]] macros) or manipulates the [[abstract syntax tree]] being produced by the compiler (e.g. [[Rust (programming language)|Rust]] or [[Lisp]] macros). Textual macros are notably more independent of the syntax of the language being manipulated, as they merely change the in-memory text of the source code right before compilation.
