Template alias in Visual Studio 2012

I'm currently trying to port code to Visual Studio 2012 that makes use of template aliases, like this:

template< typename T > using SmartPtr = std::shared_ptr< T >;

However, Visual Studio 2012 does not support template aliases.

Is it possible to replace the above declaration with something equivalent that will not break the code that uses it?

Regards

You could try using macros:

#define SmartPtr std::shared_ptr;

works the same as template aliasing on VS2015

template< typename T >
struct SmartPtr
{
    typedef std::shared_ptr< T > type;
};

Use it as:

SmartPtr<int>::type
