>Description:
If you declare a static data member twice, gcc will hang while compiling.  Looks like stuck in a loop to me - top shows gcc sucking 99.9% of cpu.

aaa.h
----------
template <class R, class I> class Aaa
{
public: // methods
    Aaa() {}
    virtual ~Aaa() {}
    static int _test;
    static int _test;
};                               
template < class R, class I > int Aaa<R,I>::_test;

-----------
aab.h
-----------
#include "aaa.h"
class Aab : public Aaa< int, float >
{
public: // methods
    Aab();
    virtual ~Aab();
};

------------
aab.cpp
------------
#include "aab.h"
Aab::Aab(){} 
Aab::~Aab(){}
>How-To-Repeat:
Compile the code included in the description:

gcc aab.cpp
