Hi all,
Is template code "always" inlined???
Or will compilers instantiate template functions separately if they
are large?
Also, what happens to the code if explicit instantiation mechanism is
used? ]
Are template functions, objects and member functions then placed as
separate entities within the object file, as with any non templated
functions.???

No. It might be if you define the functions inside the class
definition, since that implicitly inlines the code.

are large?
Yes. The function may be instantiated in multiple translation units
and the code used in a number of places, but compilers employ a number
of techniques to ensure that you only end up with a single copy of the
code in your exe (instantiation databases and linker based
instantiation merging are two techniques). Of course, the
implementation may choose to inline the code anyway.

You control the translation unit that gets the instantiation, and
avoid having the template implicitly instantiated in multiple
translation units.

functions.?? ?
Yes. Templates are never compiled to object code, only template
specializations . These can be explicit specializations , implicit
instatiations or explicit instantiations. This is independent of
inlining.

Templates don't have any special connections to inline functions.

They can do that and probably will. There are even cases in which it's
impossible to inline a function (think recursion or calling the
function through a pointer)

Code for the template instance is generated.

Yes. This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics | |

Hello all,
i have two template classes which needs each other. I tried to write
some fwd decl / decl / impl in a good way but i can't get it to
compile.
Explanations:
- .hh files are for declaration (template or not)
- .hxx files are template impl

While thunbing through _C++ Templates, The Complete Guide_ (reckon I aught
to read it?) I came across a discussion of using templates to "unroll"
loops. I thought that looked like a good idea, so I decided to try it on
some code I'm writing. The idea is to use template objects to perform what
happens in traditional nested for() loops.
for(int row = 0; row < num_rows; row++)
{
for(int col = 0; col < num_cols; col++)

I introduced the so-called "thin-template" pattern for controlling the
code bloat caused due to template usage.
However, one of the functions in the template happens to be virtual as
well. To support thin-template, I need to make virtual function as
inline.
Now, I know that compiler would generate an out-of-line copy when it

My parser project calls for a computed goto (see code below).
The C preprocessor delivers the desired result, but is ugly.
Template metaprogramming delivers results I do not understand.
Can anyone explain why loop unrolling doesn't play well with templates?
Or better, can someone submit a code fragment to get desired results?

Hi, I have a question about injecting friend functions within template
classes. My question is specific to gcc (version 3.4.5) used in
combination with mingw because this code (or at least code that gets
the same result) works as expected in visualc++. I know that this is
probably not the right behavior for a compiler but it's the kind of
behavior I'm searching for so I was hoping there was a way to do the
same thing in gcc.
