typedef template with static const member

[meleagrosy]

Hi,

class Tracker
{
 public:
        static const int type;
        typedef cv_types::CvType<type>::type_t type_t;
};
const int Tracker::type = 1;

gives me the error:
'I' : invalid template argument for 'cv_types::CvType', expected compile-time constant expression

Shouldn't the static const int be a compile time constant?

How would I specify it, so that it works?

PS.: The code works with #define type 1 at the top of the file and without
the static const int.

Thanks

nvm, it works when I put the initialization into the class:

class Tracker
    {
    public:
        static const int type = 1;
        typedef cv_types::CvType<type>::type_t type_t;
};
