Hi,

I have been trying clang on my project for some time now, and I have come with
a set of patches to make it compile successfully.
Clang produces nice error messages and I'd really be able to use it as my
default compiler.
However, I have a link error to typeinfo for two classes.
These classes inherit from a template class, laid out as follows:

template<class T1, class T2, classT3>
class Base : public SubBase {
 virtual void Foo();
};

#include "Base.cxx"

//Base.cxx
template<class T1, class T2, classT3>
Base::Foo() { .... }

I moved the definitions into the header file, and the linker error disappeared.
However, the strange thing is that this base template class is used in 10
different instances, and only 2 cause link errors, so there might be more to it
that I can see.

The project I work on is open-source, and you can get the sources and try this
by yourself (however the patches to get it to compile with clang are not in
yet, so I'll attach them here if you want me to).
