------- Comment #8 from pinskia at gcc dot gnu dot org 2006-07-13 14:08 ------- Here is a full reduced self contained testcase: namespace { template< typename Inst> struct rtl_Instance { static int * m_pInstance; };
template< typename Inst> int * rtl_Instance< Inst>::m_pInstance = 0; } int *foo(void) { return rtl_Instance<int >::m_pInstance; } int main (void) { return foo() == 0; } -------------------- It is only happens the namespace is anonymous which is why this is 4.2 only regression. Jason also applied his patch to redhat's 4.1 branch. Caolan, please next time test against a FSF release of the compiler before filing a bug because sometimes redhat backports patches to their branch. -- pinskia at gcc dot gnu dot org changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Severity|normal |critical Status|UNCONFIRMED |NEW Ever Confirmed|0 |1 Keywords| |link-failure Last reconfirmed|0000-00-00 00:00:00 |2006-07-13 14:08:03 date| | Summary|undefined reference (to a |[4.2 Regression] undefined |complicated template |reference to template class |construct) at link time |static variable in an | |anonymous namespace Target Milestone|--- |4.2.0 http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=28370
