Inline variable support in intel 19 compiler

[K___Benny]

The following code compiles and runs properly with gcc 8.2.0 (using -std=c++17).
It also compiles with icc 19.0.1.144, but throws a 'Floating point exception' when trying to access 'map' in the constructor.

#include <iostream>
#include <unordered_map>

struct A {
    static inline std::unordered_map<int, int> map;
    A(){
        map[1] = 2;
    }
};

int main(){
    A a;
}

A similar code with a primitive or 'std::vector' in place of 'std::unordered_map' does appears to work.

Am I missing something or is this a problem with the compiler?

I've reported this problem to our Developer.  An internal case is  #CMPLRIL0-31151

Thanks,

Hi,

Where can I find out if this issue was handled in newer icc versions?

Should the internal case number appear anywhere?

Apologies. I'm new to these things...

What is the purpose of the use of inline on an object?

Is this to possibly attribute inline to all the member functions?
The place for this would be inside the template(s).
