使用不同对象时模板特化的多重定义

When I use a specialized template in different object files, I get a "multiple definition" error when linking. The only solution I found involves using the "inline" function, but it just seems like some workaround. How do I solve that without using the "inline" keyword? If that's not possible, why?

示例代码如下:

paulo@aeris:~/teste/cpp/redef$ cat hello.h 
#ifndef TEMPLATE_H
#define TEMPLATE_H

#include <iostream>

template <class T>
class Hello
{
public:
    void print_hello(T var);
};

template <class T>
void Hello<T>::print_hello(T var)
{
    std::cout << "Hello generic function " << var << "
";
}

template <> //inline
void Hello<int>::print_hello(int var)
{
    std::cout << "Hello specialized function " << var << "
";
}

#endif

paulo@aeris:~/teste/cpp/redef$ cat other.h 
#include <iostream>

void other_func();

<小时>

paulo@aeris:~/teste/cpp/redef$ cat other.c 
#include "other.h"

#include "hello.h"

void other_func()
{
    Hello<char> hc;
    Hello<int> hi;

    hc.print_hello('a');
    hi.print_hello(1);
}

<小时>

paulo@aeris:~/teste/cpp/redef$ cat main.c 
#include "hello.h"

#include "other.h"

int main()
{
    Hello<char> hc;
    Hello<int> hi;

    hc.print_hello('a');
    hi.print_hello(1);

    other_func();

    return 0;
}

<小时>

paulo@aeris:~/teste/cpp/redef$ cat Makefile
all:
    g++ -c other.c -o other.o -Wall -Wextra
    g++ main.c other.o -o main -Wall -Wextra

<小时>

最后:

paulo@aeris:~/teste/cpp/redef$ make
g++ -c other.c -o other.o -Wall -Wextra
g++ main.c other.o -o main -Wall -Wextra
other.o: In function `Hello<int>::print_hello(int)':
other.c:(.text+0x0): multiple definition of `Hello<int>::print_hello(int)'
/tmp/cc0dZS9l.o:main.c:(.text+0x0): first defined here
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: ** [all] Erro 1

如果我取消注释 hello.h 中的内联"，代码将编译并运行，但这对我来说似乎是某种解决方法":如果专用函数很大并且被多次使用怎么办?我会得到一个大的二进制文件吗?有没有其他方法可以做到这一点?如果是，如何?如果没有，为什么?
