Hello all,

I encountered the below problem with my code listed below. But I have no
idea of what does it mean by "invalid initializer"

egcs1.1.2 (DJGPP) warning message:
IOTable.hpp:11: ANSI C++ forbids in-class initialization of non-const
static member `IOTableIdentifiers'
IOTable.hpp:11: invalid initializer

-- source code  IOTable.hpp --
#ifndef __CF_CLASSIOTABLE__
#define __CF_CLASSIOTABLE__
// ... some #include here 

class IOTable
{
	private:
	static const char*
IOTableIdentifiers[]={"A","B","C","D","E","F,"G","H","I","J","K","L","M","N","O","P",NULL};
// line 11
	static const char* const IdentifierSuffix="_S";
// ... lines follows
};

Thanks in advance.
