           Summary: Create an archive  that uses templates
           Product: gcc
           Version: 2.96 (redhat)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: c++
        AssignedTo: unassigned at gcc dot gnu dot org
        ReportedBy: menita dot singh at schwab dot com

IN CC, there is an option CC -xar, which creates an archive if, my code uses 
templates. Using this option, automatically adds the templates to archive as 
needed.

I need the equivalent option in g++. Or is there an alternate method to create 
the archive ? If i use ar command, the archive gets created, but i get link 
errors, where i use the library.
