1. Do you really need to compile above template function? 2. Or can you accept that this one being interpreted?

In case of 1. , it is unfortunate I see no solution. In case of 2. I think it is as simple as to load template source file at run time.

Or do I still miss something? If so, I will review your message again. I spent only a few minutes reading it...

No, you are not missing something. I probably was. Having this interpreted rather than precompiled is obviously the Right Thing (tm). Thanks for your clarifying comments. Now, given a header file containing only the definition template<typename T1> inline const GiNaC::function cosh(const T1 &p1) { return GiNaC::function(GiNaC::function_index_cosh, GiNaC::ex(p1)); } in the GiNaC-Cint interface I can write: Welcome to ginaccint V1.0.1 (GiNaC V0.9.9, Cint V5.15.10) __, _______ GiNaC: (C) 1999-2001 Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz, (__) * | Germany.

I am almost happy. There are just the following problems left: 1) I cannot just #include <ginac/function.h> and <ginac/inifcns.h>, where such things are declared. This is because Cint doesn't really seem to be #including them. Probably because it has already done so while ginaccint was compiled and the include guards of these header files are still active. I think I can work around this problem by simply #undef'ing the include guards and reloading those two headers in some automatic way. First attempts look promising... 2) ...but resolution of the proper function is still not correct in Cint! Consider cosh as above, but now sitting in namespace GiNaC: >> cout << GiNaC::cosh(1) << endl; // this is clear cosh(1) >> cout << cosh(1) << endl; // one could say this should be ambigous 1.54308 >> using GiNaC::cosh; >> cout << cosh(1) << endl; // now it should be clear, but it really called... 1.54308 >> cout << std::cosh(1) << endl; // ...this one. :-( 1.54308 Could using declarations like the above one be properly supported by Cint?!? As an aside, why does G__cpp_whatever.h #include <math.h>? Is this really needed? (I seem to be able to just delete it prior to comiling G__cpp_whatever.cpp).
