I just received version 2.1 of GNU CC, but there seems to be a bug with static
data members in C++.

I installed gcc 2.1 on a Sun4/75 running SunOS 4.1.1 using 'configure sparc'.
Using this compiler i installed libg++ 2.0.

The following program was compiled without any options (only saying
g++ <name>.cc) and produced the linker error

		undefined reference to `__4test$Global_Value'

I tried all combinations of GNU as/ld and systems as/ld with the same result.
The error disappeares when i try to initialize the static member Global_Value
(commented out in the example).

The program works fine with an old release of g++ (g++ 1.37.1).

--- example -----
#include <stream.h>

class test
{
  public:
    test();
    ~test() {}
    static int Global_Value;
};

test::test()
{
    cout << Global_Value << "\n";
}

// int test::Global_Value = 1;

int main()
{
    test *t_ptr;
    t_ptr = new test;
}
------ end --------
