In the following code, I want to consider functions (Ops) that have void return to instead be considered to return true. The type Retval, and the return value of Op are always matching. I'm not able to discriminate using the type traits shown here, and attempts to create a partial template specialization based on Retval have failed due the presence of the other template variables, Op and Args.

How do I specialize only some variables in a template specialization without getting errors? Is there any other way to alter behaviour based on the return type of Op?

template <typename Retval, typename Op, typename... Args>
Retval single_op_wrapper(
        Retval const failval,
        char const *const opname,
        Op const op,
        Cpfs &cpfs,
        Args... args) {
    try {
        CallContext callctx(cpfs, opname);
        Retval retval;
        if (std::is_same<bool, Retval>::value) {
            (callctx.*op)(args...);
            retval = true;
        } else {
            retval = (callctx.*op)(args...);
        }
        assert(retval != failval);
        callctx.commit(cpfs);
        return retval;
    } catch (CpfsError const &exc) {
        cpfs_errno_set(exc.fserrno);
        LOGF(Info, "Failed with %s", cpfs_errno_str(exc.fserrno));
    }
    return failval;
}
