I tried the way you have mentioned. Giving the "template<> " in all the 
specialized function definitions.  But, it didn't work out.

I tried changing the compiler options too.

1) Compiling the template using code with -frepo. The compiler will 
generate files with the extension .rpo listing all of the template 
instantiations used in the corresponding object files which could be 
instantiated there. This also didn't work.

According to the below given info,

 2) In the single source file where the full implementation belongs, you 
can use either a naming convention or #pragma implementation to indicate 
this alternate use of the header file. But, it is of no use.

3) when you include the same header file in a main source file that 
declares it as #pragma implementation, the compiler emits code for the 
function itself;                        
If all calls to the function can be inlined, you can avoid emitting the 
function by compiling with -fno-implement-inlines. If any calls were not 
inlined, you will get linker errors.

Did the compilation with the option fno-implement-inlines

But, it failed for the same reasons.

Thanks,
Ramya.
