Hello Group,

Please go through the program below:

RatingComponent.h
=================

class RatingComponent
{
public:

static RatingComponent & getInstance();
protected:

private:

static RatingComponent * _instance;

RatingComponent(); // We're a singleton
};

RatingComponent.cpp
===================

static RatingComponent * RatingComponent::_instance = 0;

RatingComponent & RatingComponent::getInstance()
{
if ( 0 == RatingComponent::_instance )
{
RatingComponent::_instance = new RatingComponent();
}
return *(RatingComponent::_instance);
}

I am getting an error:
Error 566: "RatingComponent.cpp", line 13 # static class member
"RatingComponent *RatingComponent::_instance" may not have
this storage class.

I am using aCC 3.65 compiler from HP. The curious thing is, when i use
older version of aCC 3.55, i am not getting this
error. Any help is greatly apprecited and thanks in advance.

Cheers
Shan
