This begs the question as to whether it is possible to automate the import: can I tell gcc that it should not implicitely generate any template instanciation and that it should import it instead ? I cannot see myself having to explicitely import every possible instanciated template so, I am trying to find a workaround. I tried to make sure that gcc does not implicitely generate any template instanciation but -fno-implicit-templates did not seem to achieve anything: objdump still shows the method body in the object files. Is there something extra I need to do ? And if I can make the no generation option work, is there a way to tell gcc to import every non-generated instanciation ? sorry if the answer is obvious but I am a bit lost here. Mathieu
