static const float initialization

[Ryszard Kabatek]

It's perhaps no bug, but...

The egcs-1.0.2 and the gcc 2.8.1 allow the initialization of a static
constant floating point member in the class declaration.

The CD2 allows such behaviour only for constant integer members.

class X {
  static const int ix = 7; // OK
  static const double dx = 10.5;  // wrong
};

const int X::ix;
const double X::dx;
