>Description:
Cannot access a public static member of an object A 
contained in a stl container<A>
by simply using container[n].static_member (it compiles
but loader gives  undefined reference)

It works if I assign A foo=container[n]; and then
foo.static member.  
>How-To-Repeat:
just compile with g++ the not_working.cc file.
The working.cc contains the workaround (which 
compiles and runs fine).
>Fix:
I do not know (apart the workaround)

State-Changed-Why:
    Not a bug.  Even static const data members initialized with a constant must be defined outside the class body.

State-Changed-Why:
    The attached file seems to have been lost; at least, I'm
    having problems retrieving it from GNATS.  (This is not
    unsurprising, GNATS can't seem to get MIME quite right.)
    Can you send just a plain not_working.cc, rather than a
    compressed tar file?
