In the following test-case, the template function isn't instantiated (linker
complains with "Symbol Undefined ?f  YAHH Z (int cdecl f(int ))"):

  template<class T> int f(T a);

  int main(int argc, char *argv[])
  {
    int a = 0;
    return f(a);
  }

  template<class T> int f(T a)
  {
    return 0;
  }


and DM doesn't support explicit template instantiation, e.g.

  template<class T>
  struct A
  {
    void f()
    { }
  };

  template A<int>;

You don't say what compiler options you used.  When I get messages like this I
retry with -XD added.

Yes, -XD will make it work with the existing compiler, but I wanted to fix
it so it worked automatically. -Walter

Thanks for fixing it.

and the '-XI' command line option doesn't seem to work for class templates.

   template<class T>
   struct A
   {
     void f()
     { }
   };






If I compile it with 'sc -c -cod "-XIA<int>"' no code for the instantiation
is generated.

The XI is a holdover from the bad old days before comdat's. Do you need it?

I would prefer the standard C++ explicit template instantiation. STLport's
I/O stream library makes heavy use of it (I was just looking for an
alternative).
