     'identifier' : cannot initialize static class data via constructor
 
     A constructor was used to initialize a static member of a class.
 
     Static members should be initialized in a definition outside of
     the class declaration.
 
     The following example shows how static members are initialized:
 
          class X
          {
          public:
             static const int i;
             static int j;
          };
          const int X::i = 1;
          int X::j = 2;
