        <pre>[temp.spec] (12.8)/5 says:

"For a given template and a given set of template-arguments,
 — an explicit instantiation definition shall appear at most once in a program,
 — an explicit specialization shall be defined at most once in a program, as
specified in 6.2, and
 — both an explicit instantiation and a declaration of an explicit
specialization shall not appear in a program unless the explicit instantiation
follows a declaration of the explicit specialization.
An implementation is not required to diagnose a violation of this rule."

In your case, the explicit instantiation did not follow a declaration of the
explicit specialization, so the program is ill-formed.

(Note that the standard permits an implementation to not diagnose this
ill-formed code, so the fact that GCC and ICC accept this doesn't make them
non-conforming.)</pre>
