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

It should be, but wasn't always. You can find numerous PRs on it not being 
inlined in ?: expressions. This was fixed for 3.4 and maybe even some 
3.3.x release. On the other hand, the compiler has to emit a definition 
in each translation unit since it is of course allowed to take the address 
of such a member variable. 
 
However, even if it were always inlined: putting the definition into a header 
file would be an ODR violation.
