Re: [GD-Windows] VS 2003 generating duplicate COMDAT for template instantiation?

[Matt J <mjo...@gm...>]

I was saying if the construct was confusing the compiler maybe try a
different approach. Template code often has problems with
disambiguation or it has problems with discerning between valid types
and unnamed types. IIRC I've seen stuff compile before that did not
link properly.
