- Reply-to: gcc-bugzilla at gcc dot gnu dot org
The following code compiles without error and lead to a seg fault at runtime:
template <class U, class V>
struct A;
template <class V>
struct A<int, V> {
void f();
};
template struct A<int, int>;
int main() {
A<int, int> a;
a.f();
return 0;
}
Notice that there is no body defined for A<int, int>::f(). The correct link
error is reported when no explicit template instantiation is requested:
/tmp/ccycZSyE.o: In function `main':
testcase.cpp:(.text+0x10): undefined reference to `A<int, int>::f()'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
$g++ -v
Using built-in specs.
