* The "new X = 3" extension has been removed; you must now use "new X(3)".
+* G++ no longer allows in-class initializations of static data members
+ that do not have arithmetic or enumeration type. For example:
+
+ struct S {
+ static const char* const p = "abc";
+ };
+
+ is no longer accepted.
+
+ Use the standards-conformant form:
+
+ struct S {
+ static const char* const p;
+ };
+
+ const char* const S::p = "abc";
+
+ instead.
+
+ (ISO C++ is even stricter; it does not allow in-class
+ initializations of floating-point types.)
+
*** Changes in GCC 3.1:
* -fhonor-std and -fno-honor-std have been removed. -fno-honor-std was
the definition, but not both. If it appears in the class, the
member is a member constant. The file-scope definition is always
required. */
