It appears that explicit instantiation of specialized template classes isn't
instantiating all of the class's members as it should:
--- Begin Sample Code ------------
template <typename T>
class A
{
public:
void foo( T const & ) {}
};
template <>
class A<char>
{
public:
void foo( char const & ) {}
};
template class A<int>;
template class A<char>;
--- End Sample Code ------------
When I compile the above code and run nm on the object file, I get:
%nm test.o
00000000 W _ZN1AIiE3fooERKi
%
The explicit instantiation of the char specialization of class A should have
created A<char>::foo(char const &).
