#34 compilation error with OpenWatcom (class specifier missing)

[Lieven de Cock]

The following line :
const TiXmlString::size_type TiXmlString::npos =
static_cast< size_type >(-1);

should become :

static const TiXmlString::size_type TiXmlString::npos =
static_cast< TiXmlString::size_type >(-1);

The compile error get's fixed by using
TiXmlString::size_type in the cast, not just size_type !

In the cpp file we should also respecify it's a static
const. Note it is best to assign the value directly in
the header file, no need to retype all that information
then. Drawback, change of value -> all clients also
recompile. And some older compilers (pre 1998) might
not support this.

kind regards,
Lieven

the static should not be respecified, my mistake. But
putting everything in the header still is a valid remark.
