Hi Group,

Is there an compiler option can be set to view/generate the result
of template instantiation?
The option should be similiar to "/E (Preprocess to stdout)"

Best regards,
Lin

Thanks. Do you know any compiler provide this?

Unlike macros, templates are not substituted as C++ source code, but during
compilation. So the result of instantiation is object code.

Turning on the mixed source/assembler listing in the output file options
should show the instantiated code.
