[Bug c++/13915] New: Initialization of static template members

[japple at freeshell dot org]

#include <iostream>

template<typename T>
struct wrap {
  static T joe;
};

template<typename T>

T wrap<T>::joe;
struct call_out {
  int num;
  call_out() : num(77) {}
};

template<typename T>
struct check_call {
  check_call() {
    std::cout << wrap<T>::joe.num << std::endl;
  }
};

check_call<call_out> x;

int main(){}

should print 77, I think, by 14.7.1/1, which says says:
                                                                               
                                                 
"... in particular, the initialization (and any associated side effects)
of a static data member does not occur unless the static data member is
itself used in a way that requires the definition of the static data
member to exist."
