            Bug ID: 58885
           Summary: Template static variable linking issue!
           Product: gcc
           Version: 4.8.1
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: major
          Priority: P3
         Component: c++
          Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org

One header one cpp

Sending the code as is. Compile and see the following error first:

specializing member ‘VCL::CGEnum<int, Test_Enum>::msInstances’ requires
‘template<>’ syntax

Once i prefix the line with template<> , it starts compiling about
undefined reference to `VCL::CGEnum<int, Test_Enum>::msInstances'

Initial code works perfectly fine with VS2012.

Please have a look!
