I'm not certain if this is a bug or feature; before, when I have the file: ----------foo.cc---------- const int notStatic = -1; static const int isStatic = -1; -------------------------- compiling & using nm would show that notStatic has space allocated; this is useful if refer to it in other files as ``extern const int notStatic''. the current version of g++ doesn't allocate a variable for either from. if this is the intended action, than I would think that referring to ``extern const int notStatic'' should generate an error.
