[Bug c++/9708] New: Unable to print static variable inside class member function

["wkf at alum dot mit dot edu" <sourceware-bugzilla at sourceware dot org>]

Inside a class definition in a cpp file, I have a member function in which I
created a 'static bool spin = true;' variable.  In the debugger, when inside
that function, I was unable to 'print spin' or 'set spin = 0' as it says "No
symbol "spin" in current context."

Work around is to move the static variable declaration outside the class to top
level of the file.

This was on:

Linux b64-centos4x32 2.6.9-78.0.8.EL #1 Wed Nov 19 19:43:32 EST 2008 i686 athlon
