          Issue ID: 15372
           Summary: DMD emits wrong mangling for extern(C++) free function
                    templates
           Product: D
           Version: D2
          Hardware: All
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P1
         Component: dmd
          Assignee: nobody at puremagic.com
          Reporter: jakobovrum at gmail.com

cppsrc/interop.cpp:
----
template<class T>
void foo()
{
}

void test()
{
    foo<int>();
}
----

dsrc/interop.d:
----
extern(C++) void foo(T)();

void main()
{
    foo!int();
}
----

Built with:
----
g++ -c cppsrc/interop.cpp --output=cpp_interop.o
dmd dsrc/interop.d cpp_interop.o
----

Output:
----
interop.o: In function `_Dmain':
dsrc/interop.d:(.text._Dmain+0x5): undefined reference to `foo<int>::foo()'
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
--- errorlevel 1

nm --demangle cpp_interop.o:
----
0000000000000000 W void foo<int>()
0000000000000000 T test()

nm --demangle interop.o:

Using g++ (GCC) 5.2.0 and DMD git head on Linux. Passing --std=c++11 when
compiling the C++ code results in the same mangled names. Using -L-lstdc++ is
of course not relevant here either.

This is an issue for
