>Description:
Array member variables that are declared const and static and shadow a template parameter cause an ice.  The template parameter must be a built in type, and the array member an array of classes.

If the variable is not declared const or static, or it is a builtin type, or if the template parameter is not a builtin type, a normal syntax error message will result instead.

I got the same results with g++ 3.0.2 and g++ 2.95.4.
>How-To-Repeat:
Run the followingn command on the following file:

g++ bugtest.cc

//bugtest.ccclass MyClass {
};

template<char type> class TestTemplate {
public:
	 const static MyClass type[] = {MyClass(), MyClass()};
};

>Fix:
Change one of the variable names.
