[Bug debug/37982] Extraneous DW_TAG_variable tag

[dodji at gcc dot gnu dot org]

------- Comment #9 from dodji at gcc dot gnu dot org  2010-03-17 21:15 -------
The situation has change quite a lot since gcc 4.3.0.
Now a DW_TAG_member is emitted for the static member variable, and only one
DW_TAG_variable is emitted to represent the variable definition.

So I guess the bug can be closed now?

With 4.5 I get this:
