static data in inline methods

[Mitch Miers]

Dunno if anyone's reported this...  The code's not pretty nor
efficient, but I *think* it should be legal.

Here's the code:
t.h:---------------- <snip> ------------------------
#include <vector>
 
typedef unsigned char byte;
 
class Config
{
public:
    Config() {}
    ~Config() {}
 
    vector<byte>& GetOrigTrig()
    {
        static byte defOrig[4] = { 0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF };
        static vector<byte> origs(defOrig);
 
        return origs;
    }
};
t.h:---------------- <snip> ------------------------

t.cpp:---------------- <snip> ------------------------
#include <vector>
 
#include "t.h"
t.cpp:---------------- <snip> ------------------------

Compile time gives:
