            Bug ID: 51414
           Summary: Exporting nested classes doesn't compile and link with
                    Clang on Windows
           Product: clang
           Version: 12.0
          Hardware: PC
                OS: Windows NT
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P
         Component: -New Bugs
          Assignee: unassignedclangb...@nondot.org

                    neeil...@live.com, richard-l...@metafoo.co.uk

The following code won't compile and link using `clang-cl /std:c++17 test.cpp`.

#include <optional>
#include <vector>
#include <string>
#include <iostream>

#define EXPORT_OUTER __declspec(dllexport)
#define EXPORT_INNER __declspec(dllexport)

class EXPORT_OUTER A
{
public:
    class EXPORT_INNER B
    {
    public:
        B(
            const std::optional<std::vector<std::string>> &opt =
                std::nullopt)
        {
        }
    };
};

int main()
{
    auto b = A::B();
    return 0;
}

Error:
test-e1dae6.obj: error LNK2019: Unresolved external symbol "public: __cdecl
std::optional<class std::vector<class std::basic_string<char,struct
std::char_traits<char>,class std:: allocator<char> >,class std::allocator<class

test.exe: fatal error LNK1120: 1 unresolved external command
clang-cl: error: linker command failed with exit code 1120 (use -v to see
invocation) 

However, the same code compiles and links if
1. using cl.exe from MSVC
2. using `#define EXPORT_INNER` instead
3. removing the default value of `opt` in the ctor of the class B and passing
in `std::nullopt` explicitly
