in-class initialization of non-integral static data
So I just learned via a compiler error that in-class initialization of arrays is invalid (why?). Now I would like to have some arrays initialized in a template class, and unfortunatly the contents depend on the template parameter. A condensed testcase looks like this:
template<typename T>
struct A {
T x;
static const int len = sizeof(T); // this is of course fine
static const int table[4] = { 0, len, 2*len, 3*len }; //this not
}
Any idea how to pull out the constant array?

Just as you'd do it without templates; put the initialization outside the class' declaration:
template<class T>
const int A<T>::table[4] = { 0, len, 2*len, 3*len };
class Y
{
const int c3 = 7; // error: not static
static int c4 = 7; // error: not const static const
float c5 = 7; // error not integral
};
So why do these inconvenient restrictions exist? A class is typically declared in a header file and a header file is typically included into many translation units. However, to avoid complicated linker rules, C++ requires that every object has a unique definition. That rule would be broken if C++ allowed in-class definition of entities that needed to be stored in memory as objects.
for more detail read : How do I define an in-class constant?
template <typename T, int index>
struct Table {
static const len = sizeof(T);
static const value = len*index;
};
