Hi all,
Something about GCC's instantiation stack messages seems curious to
me: for a given stack layer, the location in the message is not
that of the template instance name that appears in the same
message, but instead the point of instantiation of a template
instance named in the immediately preceding message. (So the
shallowest point of instantiation is always given in a message that
reads "instantiated from here".)
I realise that ISO 14.6.4.1 defines "point of instantiation" to mean
something different from the meaning I implied above, but I couldn't
think of a correct short descriptor for those locations.
