Summary: explicit instantiation: inconsistant behaviour between
constructor and member functions
Product: gcc
Version: 4.5.1
Status: UNCONFIRMED

minimal test case
Let a templated outer class and an inner class. When the outer class is
explicitly instantiated before the implementation of the members of the inner
class, the code for the constructor of the inner class is not generated, but
the code for its other members is. When the explicit instantiation is after the
implementation, all methods including the constructor have associated code.
This difference of behaviour seems rather strange to me. Is it done on purpose
or is it a bug?
