[Bug c++/10634] in-class initialization of static data members no longer allowed

Thank you very much for preparing this patch.

Some notes:

- Please use -c3 -p to generate the diff
- The documentation patch needs to be more informative. You must specify 
exactly what you mean (mention "in-class member initialization" instead of 
being generic), and that the option is on by the default.
- The hunk in parser.c looks invalid. Under -fno-strict-const you are allowing 
cast expressions within constant expressions. This is wrong, and might break 
code like f<(char*)0x1234> (which is invalid). You must check this. Maybe you 
could try a full testsuite run with -fno-strict-const and see if it catches 
problems.
- Looks like you handled only C-style casts (char*), but reinterpret_cast could 
probably be used as well.

The patch needs to be submitted to gcc-patches@gcc.gnu.org. Prepare also a 
ChangeLog entry and a testcase, and in the mail be descriptive about what you 
are trying to do. Mark it with [C++ PATCH] in the topic. Also specify what 
platform you tested the patch on with a bootstrap + testsuite run. See 
http://gcc.gnu.org/contribute.html for more details.
