      <p>
        <div>
        <pre>My clang is 9.0.0, and the code is:
template<int n>
class mylist
{
public:
  static int result[] = { mylist<n-1>::result };
};

clang accepts the code, but gcc reject it:

error: in-class initialization of static data member ‘int mylist<n>::result []’
of incomplete type
    static int result[] = { mylist<n-1>::result };
               ^~~~~~

I tried to remove static, and the code is modified to:


template<int n>
class mylist
{
public:
   int result[] = { mylist<n-1>::result };
};


In this case, gcc accepts it, but clang rejects it:

error: array bound cannot be deduced from an in-class initializer
   int result[] = { mylist<n-1>::result };
                ^
1 error generated.


Both compilers accept the following code:

template<int n>
class mylist
{
public:
   int result[1] = { mylist<n-1>::result };
};


This can be a bug in clang?</pre>
