Hi,

I am trying to compile some source code in aCC 3.39 and in various
places I am getting

Error 566: "tmcxaps.cxx", line 1812 # Static class member "const int
ApsConstants::OLD_PORT" m
ay not have this storage class.
04:52:50.142 [250] static const int ApsConstants::OLD_PORT(FALSE);

I did not get this with version 3.25.
Can anyone identify the problem?

Thanks
Wil

You are not asking a smart question. Try reading this:

and ask again.

I can *guess* that the minimal test case is:

struct ApsConstants {
static const int OLD_PORT;
};

static const int ApsConstants::OLD_PORT = 0;

If that's the case, your code is bogus. Drop the second 'static'
from it, and it will compile fine.

Well, I was trying not to give a flood of irrelevant information but
you are correct in retrospect it was a bit minimalist!

Anyway your minimal test cae was pretty much correct and the removal of
static has solved the problem.


Thanks!
