Hi All,

I am trying to compile under HP-UX using g++ v 3.2.1...
An example with static member data of template class...
It does not work and I get during the link the following error:
/usr/ccs/bin/ld: Unsatisfied symbols:
My_super_class<char*>::kind_string (data)
My_super_class<float>::kind_string (data)
My_super_class<int>::kind_string (data)
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
However the example works fine on other systems (Solaris, Djgpp) with
same version of GCC...

I wondered if there would be a workaround this problem...

Thanks

Sylvain

HERE IS THE FAILING CODE:

# include <iostream>

using namespace std;

template <class T>
class My_super_class
{
public:
int value;
T payload;
My_super_class(int _value = 0):
value (_value)
{
}

static const char * kind_string;
};

template <class T>
const char * My_super_class<T>::kind_string = "VERY KIND";

int main()
{
My_super_class<int> msci(3);
My_super_class<float> mscf(4);
My_super_class<char * > mscv(5);

cout << msci.kind_string << endl;
cout << mscf.kind_string << endl;
cout << mscv.kind_string << endl;

return 0;
}
