The term "implicit instantiation" refers to something that the compiler does without any explicit user request, so there is no way to "implicitly instatiate this function yourself" :-) You could explicitly instantiate this function, but... > It needs to be a generic solution The only possibility in this case would be to put the function into your header file. I believe that that should work in your case.
