[Bug c++/14891] New: Problems with the initialization of static members of template classes

[gabriele dot greco at darts dot it]

gcc version 3.4.0 20040331 (prerelease)

Here is the test code, works with gcc 3.3.x or lower:

#include <iostream>

template <typename T>
class A
{
    static int val;
public:
    typedef A<T> B;
    int get() {return val;}
};

class Z: public A<int>
{
public:
    void foo() { std::cout << "hello: " << get() << std::endl; }
};

int Z::B::val = 666; // ERROR on GCC 3.4
    
int main()
{
    Z z;
    z.foo();
}
