IMO, the hard error should occur. The native MS compiler emits a similar error message. Allowing a static data member to be defined in more than one place is a bad thing. It most be defined in the dll if the class is defined there and, in the situation the testcase is testing will be defined again in the exe or dll that uses the dll. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=36654
