Hi,

   I believe the following is an erroneous C++ program.  AT&T CC 1.2.1
flags the assignment of int a to foobar as an error, but g++ 1.27 is
silent ( on sparc, as usual ).

----------------------------------------


class foo {
private:
   static const int foobar = 100;
   
public:
   foo ( int a ) {
      foobar = a;  // this should be a compile-time error!
      printf ("foobar = %d\n",foobar);  // prints 10, instead of 100!
   }
};

main () {
   foo bar = 10;
}

----------------------------------------

Doug
