public:
static const float age =18.0;

};

It seems you are initializing the value inside the class (in C++), do it in outside.

Can you please try the following code and update to me ?

class test{
public:
//static const float age =18.0; //Titus : initialize outside
};
const float test::age = 18.0;

i thought it should be allowed since its a static constant

and, i think its only a problem when try to initialize double or float. in others words, the following lines of code dont produce any error
class test{
public:
static const int age =18; //this will work
};

update:

this will work in c++03 or c++11

class test{
public:
static const float age;

};
const float test::age =18.0;

this only works in c++11

class test{
public:
static const float age=18.0;

};
