I'm not aware of a project that uses GCC-XML to reflect C++ for use by
other C++ code.  There are several projects that use it to wrap C++ into
bindings for python, Tcl, Java, etc.

Without modifying GCC-XML there is no way to know from the output
whether any templates were encountered.  Note also that GCC-XML works on
entire translation units, not just individual source files.  That means
that if a header (such as a system header like <iostream>) uses
templates they would not pass your check.
