Undefined reference to C++ template static data members

[awatt <awatt at ipwireless dot com>]

Good afternoon.

I am attempting to compile some of our old template code with GCC 4.2.3. The
compilation stage is complete, however when I link I see some undefined
references to the template class static data members. So far I have been
unable to resolve these issues.

/cygdrive/s/ipw_products/sw_dev/common/pdc/tgt/rni/ose_ppc/./obj_app//pdc_rni.a(PDCProtocol.o):
In function `ServiceManager<DiffservService, DiffservServiceId,
100ul>::release()':
../../../incl/ServiceManager.cxx:278: undefined reference to
`ServiceManager<DiffservService, DiffservServiceId, 100ul>::s_used'

In the source code we attempt to initialise this static member as follows:

template <class Service, class ServiceId, UOPT16 NumberOfServices> Service*
ServiceManager<Service, ServiceId, NumberOfServices>::s_used = 0;

There does not seem to be a undefined reference for the non static member.

Does anyone know how to fix this?

Thanks

Arthur
