+    from being exported into dll. A minimal code snippet reproducing the bug:
+

+            }
+         };
+
+    The program does not link under mingw_gcc 3.2.3 producing undefined
+    reference to Foo::Bar() function
+
+
+    Note 2: the EmptyList is needed to allow having a NULL pointer-like
+    invalid iterator. We used to use just an uninitialized iterator object
+    instead but this fails with some debug/checked versions of STL, notably the
+    glibc version activated with _GLIBCXX_DEBUG, so we need to have a separate
+    invalid iterator.
