SYMPTOMS
When initializing a static data member that has a user-defined type in a class template, the compiler generates the following error message on the line after the last line of code:
RESOLUTION
To work around the problem, specify a specialized instance for particular data types when initializing the static data member -- as in the "Sample Code" section in this article.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. This problem was corrected in Microsoft Visual C++, 32-bit Edition, version 4.0.
MORE INFORMATION
The following code can be used to reproduce the problem and work around the problem.
Sample Code
/* Compile options needed: /c
*/
typedef struct
{
int element;
} MyType;
template <class T1>
class AA
{
public:
static MyType m_mytype;
};
template <class T1> MyType AA<T1>::m_mytype = {0};
// Uncomment the following line to work around the problem.
// MyType AA<double>::m_mytype = {0};
AA<double> mydouble;
MyType mytype = mydouble.m_mytype;
