Hi, gcc-6.2.1-1.fc26.x86_64 g++ -std=c++03: no warnings g++: In file included from /home/jkratoch/redhat/gdb-clean/gdb/testsuite/gdb.cp/m-static.cc:79:0: /home/jkratoch/redhat/gdb-clean/gdb/testsuite/gdb.cp/m-static.h:9:34: error: ‘constexpr’ needed for in-class initialization of static data member ‘const float gnu_obj_4::somewhere’ of non-integral type [-fpermissive] static const float somewhere = 3.14159; ^~~~~~~ clang++: In file included from /home/jkratoch/redhat/gdb-clean/gdb/testsuite/gdb.cp/m-static.cc:79: /home/jkratoch/redhat/gdb-clean/gdb/testsuite/gdb.cp/m-static.h:9:22: warning: in-class initializer for static data member of type 'const float' is a GNU extension [-Wgnu-static-float-init] static const float somewhere = 3.14159; ^ ~~~~~~~ 1 warning generated. clang++ -std=c++11: In file included from /home/jkratoch/redhat/gdb-clean/gdb/testsuite/gdb.cp/m-static.cc:79: /home/jkratoch/redhat/gdb-clean/gdb/testsuite/gdb.cp/m-static.h:9:22: error: in-class initializer for static data member of type 'const float' requires 'constexpr' specifier [-Wstatic-float-init] static const float somewhere = 3.14159; ^ ~~~~~~~ /home/jkratoch/redhat/gdb-clean/gdb/testsuite/gdb.cp/m-static.h:9:3: note: add 'constexpr' static const float somewhere = 3.14159; ^ constexpr 1 error generated. OK for check-in? After the fix out of the 4 combinations above only this one remains non-empty: clang++: In file included from /home/jkratoch/redhat/gdb-clean/gdb/testsuite/gdb.cp/m-static.cc:79: /home/jkratoch/redhat/gdb-clean/gdb/testsuite/gdb.cp/m-static.h:9:22: warning: in-class initializer for static data member of type 'const float' is a GNU extension [-Wgnu-static-float-init] static const float somewhere = 3.14159; ^ ~~~~~~~ 1 warning generated.
