Re: "static const" attribute in C++ (How to ?)

[Luciano Moreira - igLnx <lucianolnx@ig.com.br>]

Of corse, it's was my first attempt. But, the compiler says that "pure 
specifier can only be specified for functions". Thus the below code 
seems to be incorrect.

	class Foo
	{
	public:
		static const int DEFSIZE = 100;
	};
