[jira] Created: (STDCXX-613) [MSVC 8.0] static const data members violate the ODR

[MSVC 8.0] static const data members violate the ODR
----------------------------------------------------

                 Key: STDCXX-613
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/STDCXX-613
             Project: C++ Standard Library
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: External
         Environment: MSVC 7.0, 7.1, and 8.0
            Reporter: Martin Sebor


Copied from Rogue Wave Bugzilla: http://bugzilla.cvo.roguewave.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1744

The program below illustrates that a definition of each static const integral data member of explicit specializations of class templates that are initialized in the body of the specialization is emitted by MSVC 7.0 in each translation unit that references the member. This is, of course, incorrect and leads to linker
errors.

$ cat t.cpp

template <class T>
struct S;

template <>
struct S<int>
{
 static const int i = 0;
};

#ifndef MAIN

const int S<int>::i;

#else

int main ()
{
 return S<int>::i;
}

#endif

$ cl -c -Fot.obj t.cpp && cl -c -DMAIN -Fomain.obj t.cpp && cl main.obj t.obj

-------------------------------------

Still broken in MSVC 8.0. See:

The program below illustrates that a definition of each static const
integral data member of explicit specializations of class templates
that are initialized in the body of the specialization is emitted by
MSVC 8.0 in each translation unit that references the member. This is
incorrect and leads to linker errors.

$ cat t.cpp && cl -c -Fot.obj t.cpp && cl -nologo -c -DMAIN

template <class> struct S;
template <> struct S<int> { static const int i = 0; };
