Hi! The following patch attempts to implement DR2387 by making variable templates including their specialization TREE_PUBLIC when at file scope and they don't have static storage class.
Bootstrapped/regtested on x86_64-linux and i686-linux, ok for trunk? 2024-08-07 Jakub Jelinek <ja...@redhat.com> PR c++/109126 * decl.cc (grokvardecl): Implement CWG 2387 - Linkage of const-qualified variable template.
