This is a clearly invalid issue.

The compiler can't execute the unit test because it can't POSSIBLY know what to
instantiate the template with. It's like asking someone to verify that a
mathematical equation is sound, but leaving half of the variables as blanks.

The compiler will generate a unit test for every unique instantiation of the
template. This way, the unit test will effectively test every combination of
parameters - out of those used in your program. There is no problem and no need
to restructure any code, as long as you build your entire program with the
-unittest switch, as opposed to separate modules that only contain template
declarations without instantiating them.
