static consts Class Vars - Compile Problem in VC6

[Baget]

Hello

this code does not compile on VC6, it compile fine on other compilers on
two OS (gcc, bcc, VC7 on windows, gcc on Linux).

I am getting error C2057 on VC6

what to do?

========== START CODE ============
#include <iostream>
#include <cstring>

using namespace std;

class Foo {
public:
Foo(const char *a);
const char *getArray() const;

private:
static const unsigned int MY_SIZE = 20;


char myarray_[MY_SIZE];
};

Foo::Foo(const char *a)
{
strncpy(myarray_, a, MY_SIZE);
}

const char* Foo::getArray() const
{
return myarray_;
}


int main()
{
Foo bar("Test");
cout<<bar.getArray()<<endl;
return 0;
}

========== END CODE ==============

VC6 does not support initialization of static members inside of the
class definition. What you need to do is to initialize MY_SIZE in a cpp
file instead.

Hello

this code does not compile on VC6,

Why should it? VC++6 is a pre-standard compiler and the feature you are
using is a late addition to C++.

what to do?

Use an enum instead:
enum {MY_SIZE = 20};

That's the standard workaround for this particular deficiency of VC6.
