This looks like a MSVC error. Is this only with recent MSVC? (on a local machine, I presume?)

Assuming so -- could you try adding an "=" character before the "{", at the end of this line:
> 4553     static const FrameConstructionData sNonScrollableBlockData[2][2] {
https://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/layout/base/nsCSSFrameConstructor.cpp#4553
?

(I think it is missing that "=", and it seems possible that's what's confusing MSVC here.)

Yes, with MSVC2012.

Looks like that fixed it. At least, now I'm hitting bustage in the JS engine instead.

I just landed a typo fix before I saw your request:

fix v1: add missing "=

All the better. :)

Comment 6

[Mats Palmgren (:mats)]

I'm surprised that it even compiles without the '='.  Do you know why?

Comment 7

[Mats Palmgren (:mats)]

# cat test.cpp
static int x { 1 };
int main() {return 0;}

# clang++  test.cpp 
test.cpp:1:13: error: expected ';' after top level declarator
static int x { 1 };
            ^
            ;
1 error generated.

# clang++ -std=gnu++0x  test.cpp
#

We compile with -std=gnu++0x so that's why it was accepted I suppose.
