STL and explicit template instantiation

[Robert Schweikert]

Thanks,

Now of course the follow on question since I poked at this some more.
Why would the 

__uninitialized_fill_n_aux
__uninitialized_fill_n_a

template function not be inlined when all other template functions in
the stl_uninitialized.h header are inlined? Could this be considered as
a bug? When I hack the header to inline these template functions the
problem goes away, as expected based on your answer.

Thanks,
Robert
