Consider the following C++ source code files

=========> testLib.h <===========
#include <stdexcept>
#include <iostream>

#define DEBUG1(X) std::cout<<X;

typedef int IndexType;

namespace Upagraha
{

template<typename X,int Size>
class CompileTimeFixedSizeData
{

protected:
        X _data[Size];          //!< The storage of the data
        static IndexType _size; //!< The size of the data.
public:
        CompileTimeFixedSizeData()
        {
          DEBUG1("Template value = "<< Size << std::endl);
          DEBUG1("Static variable value = "<< _size<< std::endl);
        }

        virtual ~CompileTimeFixedSizeData()
        {}
};


//setting the value of _size, which is static
template<typename X,int Size>
IndexType CompileTimeFixedSizeData<X,Size>::_size=Size;

/** Create an instance of CompileTimeFixedSizeData and associated functions. 
 */
#define COMPILE_TIME_FIXED_SIZE_DATA_INSTANCE(TYPE,SIZE) \
        template class CompileTimeFixedSizeData<TYPE,SIZE>;

}

=========> testLib.cpp <===========
#include "testLib.h"
namespace Upagraha
{
        COMPILE_TIME_FIXED_SIZE_DATA_INSTANCE(double,3)
}

=========> main.cpp <===========
#include "testLib.h"

namespace Upagraha {
//extern template class CompileTimeFixedSizeData<double,3>;
// FIXME: Uncomment to see a change in behavior
}

int main()
{
        Upagraha::CompileTimeFixedSizeData<double,3> a;
}


=========> makefile <===========

#OPTIONS=-rdynamic -fno-implicit-templates -fPIC
OPTIONS=-rdynamic -fno-implicit-templates
# FIXME: Uncomment the top one to see change in behaviour

test:libtestLib.so testLib.h main.cpp
        g++ $(OPTIONS) $(TOPTIONS) main.cpp -L"${PWD}" -ltestLib -o main 

libtestLib.so: testLib.cpp testLib.h
        g++ $(OPTIONS) $(TOPTIONS) -shared testLib.cpp -o libtestLib.so

clean:
        rm main libtestLib.so *~

====================================

Put the above four files in same the directory and do the following
*) make
*) export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$PWD"
*) ./main

You'll see the output as 
=====================
Template value = 3
Static variable value = 0
=====================

Now, follow either of the two "FIXME"s and build the program and run to get
=====================
Template value = 3
Static variable value = 3
=====================

Why this difference in behaviour in initialisation of static variable
Upagraha::CompileTimeFixedSizeData<X,Size>::_size? Could somebody please
explain this?
