Subject: static members w/ new gcc
Status: O


Wassup!

I recently downloaded the new djgcc, but I`ve encountered various problems
with it.
1st of all, I can`t declare class members static. e.g. check out this little
piece of code:

#include <stream.h>

class xy
{
 public:
  static int foo;
};

main()
{
 xy test;
 int a;
 xy::foo=2;
 cout << xy::foo;
}

which IMHO should work fine (at least it did with the old version).
But the compiler gives me somethin` like this:

TEST.o: Undefined symbol __2xy$foo referenced from text segment

Maybe someone could help me with this one. I imagine there are other people
who must have had the same problem, or could it be that it`s got to do 
sth. with my configuration? To be sure: I run a 486 AT 33,4MB & a 40MB HD(yeah, yeah, I`m gonna get a bigger one soon).

Also, I`ve had a problem with the old Borland make, which worked fine with
the old gcc but now causes HD hangs almost always.

Other than that, I love the whole djgpp project, esp. the new cbgrx lib, which 
works wonderfully w/ my old t4k card.
