问题描述
错误的起因是我想在 C++ 的一个类中定义 static const string,并且给这个变量初始化:
class A {
private:
static const string RECTANGLE = "rectangle";
}
但是编译报错
error: in-class initialization of static data member 'const string Settings::ROOT_PATH' of non-literal type|
error: call to non-constexpr function 'std::__cxx11::basic_string<_CharT, _Traits, _Alloc>::basic_string(const _CharT*, const _Alloc&) [with _CharT = char; _Traits = std::char_traits<char>; _Alloc = std::allocator<char>]'|
解决方法

You have to define your static member outside the class definition and provide the initializer there.
First
// In a header file (if it is in a header file in your case)
class A {
private:
static const string RECTANGLE;
};
and then
// In one of the implementation files
const string A::RECTANGLE = "rectangle";
The syntax you were originally trying to use (initializer inside class definition) is only allowed with integral and enum types.

In C++11 you can do now:
class A {
private:
static constexpr const char* STRING = "some useful string constant";
};
