<pre>The following code won't compile and link using `clang-cl /std:c++17 test.cpp`.
#include <optional>
#include <vector>
#include <string>
#include <iostream>
#define EXPORT_OUTER __declspec(dllexport)
#define EXPORT_INNER __declspec(dllexport)
class EXPORT_OUTER A
{
public:
class EXPORT_INNER B
{
public:
B(
const std::optional<std::vector<std::string>> &opt =
std::nullopt)
{
}
};
};
int main()
{
auto b = A::B();
return 0;
}
Error:
test-e1dae6.obj: error LNK2019: Unresolved external symbol "public: __cdecl

clang-cl: error: linker command failed with exit code 1120 (use -v to see

However, the same code compiles and links if
1. using cl.exe from MSVC
2. using `#define EXPORT_INNER` instead
3. removing the default value of `opt` in the ctor of the class B and passing
in `std::nullopt` explicitly</pre>
