Re: [boost] [asio] static data member as buffer arg

Any obvious reason that supplying a static const data member
to a buffer, for example:
class Client
{
   static const unsigned int sHandShakeGreeting = 0x01020304;
<snip>
would behave differently from:
const unsigned int sHandShakeGreeting = 0x01020304;
class Client
{
<snip>
The above all occur within a .cpp file. In the latter case the
dialog continues as expected, but the former results in the
server(I don't have code for) not receiving a valid value.
This is using VC7.1.
This smells like a compiler bug. Are you able to reproduce it in
a small program that sends data to an echo server, say?

Also, do you have a definition for the static outside the class?
i.e.:

  const unsigned int Client::sHandShakeGreeting;

Cheers,
Chris
