This definitely sucks, but it seems that the standard has been more designed as 'if would be nice to have this and that' than 'let's define something that can be implemented efficiently'. And I can announce that, in 5 years, when we have good compilers for C++, it will be time for a new standard to get the bloat up again.

With compaq cxx, the solution is to put all template instantiations in a particular directory and link that in at the end. With gcc, you have to use -frepo, and compile all your project 10+ until all templates are instanciated. This is crazy. JMarc
