Ingenious, you are automatically inserting a compile time error into
every basic block of the template code to be profiled, compiling the
translation unit and counting how many error are generated for each
template to get a count of how many times the compiler tries (and fails)
to instantiate the template.

There may be a more direct way to extract this information with VTune
related profiling features provided in icc.  I'll follow up and let you
know.
