[Bug c++/24331] New: The symbol properties of generated C++ code depend on the position of template instantiations

["O dot Kayser-Herold at tu-bs dot de" <gcc-bugzilla at gcc dot gnu dot org>]

Generating an object file with "g++ -c test.cc" for the following code snippet:

----------
template <int> void f() {}
int g() { f<1> (); }
template void f<1> ();
----------

"nm -gm test.o" returns:

000000ac (__TEXT,__eh_frame) weak private external _Z1fILi1EEvv.eh
00000084 (__TEXT,__eh_frame) external _Z1gv.eh
00000050 (__TEXT,__textcoal_nt) weak private external __Z1fILi1EEvv
00000000 (__TEXT,__text) external __Z1gv
        (undefined) external ___gxx_personality_v0
        (undefined) external dyld_stub_binding_helper


while the same procedure for:
------------------
template <int> void f() {}
template void f<1> ();
int g() { f<1> (); }
------------------

results in:

00000000 (absolute) external [no dead strip] _Z1fILi1EEvv.eh
00000000 (absolute) external [no dead strip] _Z1gv.eh
00000000 (__TEXT,__text) external __Z1fILi1EEvv
00000018 (__TEXT,__text) external __Z1gv

This error could lead to problems in conjunction with the creation of dynamic
libraries.
