Can anyone explain why following code won't compile? At least on g++ 4.2.4.
And more interesting, why it will compile when I cast MEMBER to int?
#include <vector>
class Foo {
public:
static const int MEMBER = 1;
};
int main(){
vector<int> v;
v.push_back( Foo::MEMBER ); // undefined reference to `Foo::MEMBER'
v.push_back( (int) Foo::MEMBER ); // OK
return 0;
}
You need to actually define the static member somewhere (after the class definition). Try this:
class Foo { /* ... */ };
const int Foo::MEMBER;
int main() { /* ... */ }
That should get rid of the undefined reference.
