          Issue ID: 15372
           Summary: DMD emits wrong mangling for extern(C++) free function
                    templates
           Product: D
           Version: D2
          Hardware: All

cppsrc/interop.cpp:
----
template<class T>
void foo()
{
}

void test()
{
    foo<int>();
}
----

dsrc/interop.d:
----
extern(C++) void foo(T)();

void main()
{
    foo!int();
}
----

Built with:
----
g++ -c cppsrc/interop.cpp --output=cpp_interop.o
dmd dsrc/interop.d cpp_interop.o

Using g++ (GCC) 5.2.0 and DMD git head on Linux. Passing --std=c++11 when
compiling the C++ code results in the same mangled names. Using -L-lstdc++ is
of course not relevant here either.

This is an issue for
