------- Additional Comments From pinskia at gcc dot gnu dot org 2005-04-18 17:38 ------- This is a documented deprecated feature: http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Deprecated-Features.html#Deprecated-Features G++ allows static data members of const floating-point type to be declared with an initializer in a class definition. The standard only allows initializers for static members of const integral types and const enumeration types so this extension has been deprecated and will be removed from a future version.
