[thomas dot rudlof at gmx dot de]

the following program:
--------------------------------------------------
template<class T>
struct S {
  static const int _i;
};

template<class T> const int S<T>::_i = 0;

int main()
{
  return S<char>::_i;
}
-----------------------------------------
result in this error:

/usr/ccs/bin/ld: Unsatisfied symbols:

[Bug target/14655] linker cannot find const static template members on HP

[pinskia at gcc dot gnu dot org]

------- Additional Comments From pinskia at gcc dot gnu dot org  2004-03-19 18:17 -------
From: <http://gcc.gnu.org/install/specific.html>:
GCC 3.3 and later support weak symbols on the 32-bit port using SOM secondary definition symbols. 
This feature is not enabled for earlier versions of HP-UX since there have been bugs in the linker 
support for secondary symbols. The HP linker patches PHSS_26559 and PHSS_24304 for HP-UX 11.00 
and 11.11, respectively, correct the problem of linker core dumps creating C++ libraries. Earlier 
patches may work but they have not been tested.
So this is fixed for 3.3 so closing.
