There are only two possible things you could want, I'm not sure which: 1) Cause the compiler to include an instance of the template in a specific .o file: #include <vector> template class vector<int>; gcc t.cc 2) Prevent the compiler from including an instance of any template in any .o file #include <vector> vector<int> A; gcc -fno-implicit-templates t.cc You will want to use a combination of the two above schemes if your program has a number of tempaltes. Make one file that contains all of the template instances explicitly instanciated and compile it without -fno-implicit-templates. Use -fno-implicit-templates on the rest of your modules.
