13.7.1 Class templates [temp.class]

13.7.1.4 Static data members of class templates [temp.static]

A definition for a static data member or static data member template may be provided in a namespace scope enclosing the definition of the static member's class template.

[ Example

:

template class X { static T s; }; template T X::s = 0;

struct limits { template static const T min; // declaration };

template const T limits::min = { }; // definition

— end example

]

An explicit specialization of a static data member declared as an array of unknown bound can have a different bound from its definition, if any.

[ Example

:

template struct A { static int i[]; }; template int A::i[4]; // 4 elements template <> int A::i[] = { 1 }; // OK: 1 element

— end example
