When using boost::bind to wrap an inline function
in a function object leads, this leads to an undefined reference to that
function.
The bug is caused because the class that produces the function object is a
template class.
GCC 3.3 and 3.4 work fine. Output from 4.0 compiler is:
$ g++-4.0 test_undefined_symb4.0.cpp -o test_undefined_symb4.0
/tmp/ccBl8CSy.o: In function `Event<int>::emit()':
test_undefined_symb4.0.cpp:(.gnu.linkonce.t._ZN5EventIiE4emitEv[Event<int>::emit()]+0x21):
undefined reference to `boost::shared_ptr<E>::get() const'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
$ g++-4.0 --version
g++-4.0 (GCC) 4.0.2 20050808 (prerelease) (Ubuntu 4.0.1-4ubuntu9)
Attachment with example code follows.
