;;; Commentary:

;; The following is a typical error message from g++ using STL (here
;; with split lines):
;;
;; AFile.o(.text+0x2d5): undefined reference to
;;   `vector<double>::begin(void)'
;; AFile.o(.text+0x2e7): undefined reference to
;;   `vector<double>::insert(double *, unsigned int, double const &)'
;; AnotherFile.o(.text+0x226b8): undefined reference to
;;   `operator!=(rb_tree<basic_string<char>, pair<basic_string<char>
;;   const, AClass *>, select1st<pair<basic_string<char> const, AClass
;;   *>, basic_string<char> >, less<basic_string<char> > >::iterator
;;   const &, rb_tree<basic_string<char>, pair<basic_string<char>
;;   const, AClass *>, select1st<pair<basic_string<char> const, AClass
;;   *>, basic_string<char> >, less<basic_string<char> > >::iterator
;;   const &)'
;;
;; The message means that in the object file AFile.o there is one
;; uninstantiated template class, vector<double>, and in AnotherFile.o
;; there is one uninstantiated template function, operator!=(...).  To
;; turn this output into manual template instantiations, copy from the
;; first name of an objective file (here this is AFile.o) to right
;; after the very last `'' of the output.  Put this in a buffer and
;; call `mantemp-make-mantemps-buffer' with the point in the buffer.
;; You can also use `mantemp-make-mantemps-region' directly on the
;; region if the output is already in Emacs.
;;
;; The resulting buffer yields (connect the three output lines above
;; if you want to try):
;;
;; template operator!=(rb_tree<basic_string<char>,
;;   pair<basic_string<char> const, AClass *>,
;;   select1st<pair<basic_string<char> const, AClass *>,
;;   basic_string<char> >, less<basic_string<char> > >::iterator const
;;   &, rb_tree<basic_string<char>, pair<basic_string<char> const,
;;   AClass *>, select1st<pair<basic_string<char> const, AClass *>,
;;   basic_string<char> >, less<basic_string<char> > >::iterator const
;;   &);
;; template class vector<double>;
;;
;; which can be included in your C++ program.  However, its probably
;; better to include the necessary header files in the buffer and
;; compile it as a stand alone implementation file.
;;
;; Sometimes, an uninstantiated template may cause a message like the
;; following
;;
;; main.cc:66: invalid use of undefined type
;;   `struct valarray<double,arrayminusopclass<double,c_array<double> > >'
;;
;; Follow the same procedure as above and the line is changed to
;;
;; template struct valarray<double,
;;   arrayminusopclass<double,c_array<double> > >;

;; g++ does not output the templates that are needed by the
;; uninstantiated templates.  Therefore you will often get new error
;; messages after the first instantiations have been included and you
;; must repeat the operation.
