[Bug c++/44528] New: ld returns 1 and reports undefined reference to a defined static class variable

[gcc at razorcam dot com]

when executing the command  g++ bug_report.cc , i get the output:

/tmp/ccM7O0pr.o: In function `A::init()':
bug_report.cc:(.text._ZN1A4initEv[A::init()]+0x6): undefined reference to
`A::i'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

here is the output of the command  ld -v
GNU ld (GNU Binutils for Debian) 2.20.1-system.20100303

the output of g++ -v -save-temps follows the source file bug_report.cc
the preprocessed file bug_report.ii is at the end of this report

struct A{
        static int i;
        static void init() {i=0;} 
};
int main(){
        A::init();
}
