static member variables in c++
Author
In order to initialize a static member variable, why must the variable type be an integral type? Why can't we use say... floats? What's the deal here? I am using Visual Studio 2008. Thanks!

class CBlah
{
public:
static const int iA = 1; // Works
static const float fB = 1.0f; // Doesn't Work
};
The Error:
"error C2864: 'CBlah::fB' : only static const integral data members can be initialized within a class"
{
public:
static const int iA = 1; // Works
static const float fB = 1.0f; // Doesn't Work
};
The Error:
"error C2864: 'CBlah::fB' : only static const integral data members can be initialized within a class"
