Template instantiation problem

["Matthew Conway" <matt_conway at i2 dot com>]

I'm having a problem with templates for gcc snapshot 20000501 on the
powerpc-ibm-aix4.3.3.0 platform.
The attached cpp file compiles/links/runs fine under the same snapshot
version on i686-pc-linux-gnu with the command line "g++ -o aix-template-bug
aix-template-bug.cpp", but when I run the same command under aix, I get the
following unresolved symbols:

[/u/conwaym/src/cpptest]-> g++ -o aix-template-bug aix-template-bug.cpp
ld: 0711-317 ERROR: Undefined symbol: PropertySet::Value<int> virtual table
ld: 0711-345 Use the -bloadmap or -bnoquiet option to obtain more
information.
collect2: ld returned 8 exit status

I tried doing "g++ -frepo -c aix-template-bug.cpp", then "g++ -frepo -o
aix-template-bug aix-template-bug.o" (Am I even using this correctly?), but
ended up getting even more unresolved symbols, one of which was the one
reported above.

This probably has something to do with my tricky use of templates to
generically store any type into a single STL collection - but it is valid
C++ code, and does work under other G++'s as well as HP aCC and MS VC++ 6.0.

Does anyone know whats going on here, and if/how I can work around it?  If
you need me to generate any more detail, just let me know.  Any help
appreciated, thanks,

Matt
