See FAQ#5:  http://www.gccxml.org/HTML/FAQ.html

You need to convince the compiler to instantiate the template.  Accessing
one member will do this:

   typedef TemplateAdder<int>::TemplateAdder IntAdder;

In general this should be done only in code seen by gccxml and not by
normal compilers.  Otherwise you will cause lots of unnecessary work
for the compiler when building your code.  You can use the __GCCXML__
preprocessor symbol to distinguish it.
