How can I see all the instantiations that occur after compiling the template in my C++ code? For example, after compling this code:

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

template <class a_type> class TemplateClass {
    a_type m_one ;
    a_type m_two ;
};

int main (){
    TemplateClass<int> intClass ;
    TemplateClass<char> charClass ;

}

I want to see a C++ file with class:

template <int> class TemplateClass {
    int m_one ;
    int m_two ;
};

and same class with char. I prefer suggestions in Eclipse or Visual Studio.

For what purposes do you need to see this? – Publius Sep 09 '12 at 07:27
@Avi : to see what happens in recursion build of template – URL87 Sep 09 '12 at 07:29
I sometimes used gdb's autocompletion to list classes beginning with 'TemplateClass<' for this, but it worked only half the time. – BatchyX Sep 09 '12 at 07:31
@Avi : thanks ... you can vote to close this post . – URL87 Sep 09 '12 at 07:42
That option isn't appearing for me :| – Publius Sep 09 '12 at 07:44
It is a trick I am using: just temporarily put some syntax error in your template- compiler in error messages will tell you what cannot be instantiated. – PiotrNycz Sep 09 '12 at 08:08
