g++ -c on the following code fragment:

void f ( void ) {
	class Local {
		static int j ;
	} ;
}

gives the following errors:

static-member-in-local-class.cpp: In function =91void f()=92:
static-member-in-local-class.cpp:3: error: local class =91class=20
f()::Local=92 shall not have static data member =91int f()::Local::j=92
static-member-in-local-class.cpp:3: error: field =91f()::Local::j=92 in=
=20
local class cannot be static

I understand that local classes cannot have static members because it i=
s=20
not possible to describe the data member at file scope in order to=20
define it.

But what is the difference between "local class shall not have static=20
data member" and "field in local class cannot be static"?

Thanks as always.
