The compiler can only generate code from templates it can see at the
point where the instantiation happens. Since in the snippet above it
doesn't see the _Variable constructor definition, it can't instantiate
it. And at the point where it can see the constructor, it doesn't know
that it needs to instantiate it for type 'double'.
The entire issue disappears if you move your member function definitions
(including the constructor) from varbls.cpp to varbls.h.
