>Description:
  Names that do not depend on a template arguments should be bound at the point of definition, however, gcc seems to be binding names at a later time.
  This is a modified example from Stroustrup C.13.8:
>How-To-Repeat:
Compile this -O3 to assembly, observe that "g(int)" is emmitted, not "g(double)".

inline void g(double) { __asm(" g(double) ");}

template <class T> struct X
{
  void f() { g(2);} // should call g(double)
};

inline void g(int) { __asm(" g(int) ");}

int main()
{
  X<int>().f(); // should call g(double), but calls g(int)
  return 0;
}
