template <class type>
class test1
{
 public:
  static int int1;
};

template <class type>
int test1<type>::int1=0;

class test2
{
 public:
  static int int1;
};

int test2::int1=0;

void main()
{
 test1<int> Test1;
 test2      Test2;
};

 This program when compile with g++, it has compile time error on
initializing the static member for class test1. The compiler can't
understand the initializing of static member with template. But
initializing of static member for non-template class (test2) is valid.
 How can I initialize the static member of class test1?

 But when I compile with Borland C++ Builder, it has no error. The
latter compiler can implement such initializing of template class.  Which
compiler is right? Do ANSI C++ implement the initializing of static member
for template class?

Each template class instantiation will get its own static  data member.
Initialize the template class static member as follows:

int test1<int>::int1 = 1;      // for integer instantiations of test1
int test1<float>::int1 = 2;  // for float instantiaions of test1
. . . . ..
. . . . .

I think your g++ compiler is correct.

Which version of g++ do you use?
g++-2.8.1 compiles that code just fine.
