Re: Compiler doesn't create some static class members

[Nicolas Deslandes]

I was having the same problem with Visual C++, and I "solved" it by using a
#pragma macro that creates an explicit reference to a symbol (basically I
have a header to be included by the library users that contains all the
#pragma for the static members I want to add references to).To use the
librarian analogy, it simply adds names to the "needed list" before going
through the bookshelves.

Is there something similar usable with g++ ?

Thanks,
