[N1065 issue 1.19] An explicit specialization declaration may not be visible during instantiation under the template compilation model rules, even though its existence must be known to perform the instantiation correctly. For example:
translation unit #1
template<class T> struct A { }; export template<class T> void f(T) { A<T> a; }translation unit #2
template<class T> struct A { }; template<> struct A<int> { }; // not visible during instantiation template<class T> void f(T); void g() { f(1); }Rationale: This issue was addressed in the C++11 FDIS and should have been closed.
