Hello Everyone, 

I think i have found a bug with g++.
Static data members compile well but don't link.
It seems the job is done, except that compiler wont allocate space for that kind of data
This problem appears with g++ 2.2.2 and 2.1. on SparcStation under SunOs 4.1.1.


Below is a small sample program showing off the problem :

---------------------------------------------
#include <stdio.h>

class Bug 
{
	public:
	static int i = 0;
	Bug() {	printf("%d ",i++); }
};


main()
{
	Bug b;
	Bug c;
	Bug d;
}
-----------------------------------------

(yes, I know i should use streams for I/O, but that's not the point...)

When I compile this code (it provide a class that counts it's instances)

I get the message :

ld: Undefined symbol
	__3Bug$i

I think it's a major problem, 'cause static members are the only clean way
to implement shared data between every members of a class.

Still, i've found a way (a very very dirty way...) to patch the problem
so i can go with it.
However, you'll understand that i'm not quite satifsfied...

The following code will compile, link and work perfectly...

----------------------------------------------------
#include <stdio.h>

static int _3Bug$i = 0;

class Bug 
{
	public:
	static int i = 0;
	Bug() {	printf("%d ",i++); }
};


main()
{
	Bug b;
	Bug c;
	Bug d;
}

----------------------------------------------------

	Thanks for fixing problem...
