  If the templates are monomorphized, each instantiation of a templated function will have a different address. To acquire the address of any given instantiation we need a symbol in the object file.

    What isn't clear to me why one would ever want monomorphization in the first place.

      exactly !

      Not ever wanting monomorphization seems like a bit of a strong claim to me. Why do you take that position?
      • uecker 1y ago
        I was asking the question why one would ever want it.
        • aw1621107 1y ago
          Right. I had interpreted you asking that question as you having taken that position and soliciting responses for a discussion. Seems that was an improper reading.
