compilation errors in 27.istream.fmat.arith.cpp

[Mark Brown <mb...@inbox.com>]

Here's another test that throws an error at compile time. It looks like the compiler doesn't like the using N as the dimension of the array. I thought using variables as array dimensions was not allowed in C++?

It's not but the variable is really a constant integral expression
(i.e., it's declared as a static local const initialized with the
value of another constant integral expression (a static const
integer data member of a class), so it's a compiler bug. I was
able to reduce it to a small test case and reproduce the error
with gcc 3.4.6 on Linux. I opened an issue in Jira for future
reference: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/STDCXX-351

I'll submit a patch for it shortly.

Thanks for pointing it out!
Martin
