On page 181 is the following code from Spreadsheet.h:

static int sCounter = 0;

Using GCC Ver 4.9.2 I get the following error message:

Error: "Spreadsheet.h|34|error: ISO C++ forbids in-class initialization of non-const static member ‘Spreadsheet::sCounter’|"

This is the only code I've found in this book that doesn't compile on this compiler (set to conform to "C++ 11 ISO C++ language standards.") Anyone know why this is happening?

Thanks.

That was a bug in the second edition and has already been fixed in the third edition of the book.

Thanks for replying. Just as a suggestion, perhaps the proper code could be added to the errata page. I'm assuming the proper course is to use your non-C++ 11 coding instructions in the book.

Thanks again.

I have started the errata procedure, so it should appear in the online errata in the coming days.
