static class declaration

[He HongFu]

Hi:
	I want to know the meaning of declaration a class with static following:

	static class Foo 
	{
		//...
	}

	Which is do well with MSVC compiler, but G++ cannot compile it.

	Thanks in advance!

Or you can define class and a static instance of it at the same time, e.g.

       static class foo
       {
           foo() {}
       } bar;

which is equivalent to:

       class foo
       {
           foo() {}
       };
       static foo bar;

i.e. the static belongs to the declaration of the variable and not the
class.


The case you originally asked about, static class but no variable, will
compile with MSVC but *does* generate a warning. g++ generates an error.
They're just reacting differently to invalid code.

I don't know if you can have a static class. You do can have a class with 
static members...
