# Function to generate templated instantiation functions and caller function.

# In order to reduce build times, we split the instantiation of template functions into multiple files.
# Developers can use ck::util::generate_sharded_instantiations to generate the instantiation functions,
# which can be placed the TEMPLATE_FILE (typically a .in file).

# This CMake function generates the instantiation functions and a caller function that calls all the instantiation 
# functions. The ck::util::generate_sharded_instantiations function allows us to generate an arbitrary number of
# shards (NUM_SHARDS). This function loops over the shards, generates an instantiation function for each shard,
# and generates a caller function that calls all the instantiation functions.

# The explicit instatiation pattern requires the use of `extern template` to avoid implicit instantiation
# of the template functions in the caller function, and that code is automatically generated by this function.

# In addition to the user-supplied template, this CMake function uses two generic templates:
#
# 1. `instantiate_shard.in`: This is the template for the instantiation functions.
# 2. `call_shard.in`: This is the template for the caller function that calls all the instantiation functions.

# This function takes the following arguments:
#
# - INSTANCES_NAME: The name of the instances (the calling function will be named `add_${INSTANCE_NAMES}`).
# - TEMPLATE_FILE: The path to the template file that contains the templated instantiation function definitions.
# - NUM_SHARDS: The number of shards to generate.
# - OUTPUT_DIR: The build directory where the generated source files will be placed.
# - SRC_LIST: The list of source files to which the generated source files will be added.
