Dear Rooters,
Jonathan M. Gilligan reported a const data member related bug.
In my previous response, I thought I fixed this. But it tuned out that
there is more story here. There are 2 conflicting needs.
class A {
public:
const char* str; // 1. const that is initialized for each object
A() : str("abc") { }
const int N = 5; // 2. static const
f() {
int ary[N];
}
};
Unfortunately, I can not support both cases. I'd like to take case 1.
over 2. If you want to do something like this, you have to explicitly
declara N as static.
class A {
public:
const char* str; // 1. const that is initialized for each object
A() : str("abc") { }
static const int N = 5; // 2. static const
f() {
int ary[N];
}
};
This change will be done in cint5.14.9 which goes back to cint5.14.1
in this regard.
Thank you
