[K42-discussion] static_buf in gentmp

[Donour Sizemore]

I'm getting linking errors like this:

That seem to be coming from the code created from gentmp.awk.

-- gentmp.awk --
function createStandardFunc()
{
   ...
  
  printf("template<> char 
%s<INSTNAME>::static_buf[sizeof(%s<INSTNAME>)]\n",TMclass,TMclass)              
 > XF;
  
   ...

Does anybody know what the purpose of the static_buf member?

thanks
