Hello,

I know i argue with eminent C++ specialists in this group, but i think the
code above is not correct.
To my best knowledge even with the inclass line
static const int value = true ;
you have to give a definition outside of the class:
int A::value;
Apart from that
return 0;
should be unnecessary and there is a spurious semicolon after the last brace;

Greetings
