Why aren't static const floats allowed?

Question

I have a class which is essentially just holds a bunch of constant definitions used through my application. For some reason though, longs compile but floa

Answer 1

You should initialize them in the body of one of your cpp files:

class MY_CONSTS
{
public :
    static const long   LONG_CONST = 1;      // Compiles 
    static const float FLOAT_CONST;
};

const float MY_CONSTS::FLOAT_CONST = 0.001f;
