To avoid this problem in future, maybe we should define a macro in <simgear/compiler.h>. Something like:
#ifdef SG_NO_INCLASS_MEMBER_INITIALIZATION # define SG_STATIC_CONSTANT(type, assignment) enum { assignment } #else # define SG_STATIC_CONSTANT(type, assignment) static const type assignment #endif Usage then becomes: class Foo { SG_STATIC_CONSTANT(int, FG_MAX_ENGINES = 4); ... } which expands to either static const int FG_MAX_ENGINES = 4; or enum { FG_MAX_ENGINES = 4; }; I think the problem with Norman's solution is that you can't use the value later in the class declaration, as an array size for example.
