I'm thinking about this question. I've a class A and its member
function fn. In fn there's a static variable s.
If I create an object by
A a;
When I call the function a.fn, s would remain static throught out all
the callings of a.fn, in other words it would be affected by all the
callings of a.fn.
Now the question is, if I've created other objects by
A b,c,d;
When I call the function b.fn, c.fn, d.fn, will they also affect the
value of the static s? 4 1411

Why don't you try it out?
#include <iostream>
class X {
int i;
public:
X(){i=0;};
int fn();
};
int X::fn()
{
static int s = 0;
return ++s;
}
int main()
{
X a;
std::cout << a.fn() << '\n';
X b;
std::cout << b.fn() << '\n';
std::cout << a.fn() << '\n';
}
Does that answer your question?
The static variable, s, retains its value between calls.

Why don't you try it and see?
The answer is yes. Individual objects have their own copies of a class's
data members, but there is only one copy of each member function and it is
shared by all objects of the class. Thus a.fn(), b.fn(), c.fn(), d.fn() etc.
are all calling the same function containing the same static variable.

[Snipped] When I call the function b.fn, c.fn, d.fn, will they also affect the value of the static s?
Absolutely yes (A simple test program would have given you the answer.)

Hi,
I have no problem creating a static member variable with integers, etc but
when I try the same with a vector then I always get linker errors that the
static member variable is unknown (unresolved external symbol)
Below is what an example of the code I use. Can somebody tell me what I am
doing wrong ?
Thanks very much in advance,

Hi,
Can you solve the puzzle for me?
I have a main.cpp, testinclude.h, and test1.cpp and test2.cpp which include
testinclude.h
testinclude.h has a class Include defined. I always thought that the
compiler generates a copy of
class Include one each for test1.cpp and test2.cpp. But however they use the
same class definition for both test1.cpp and test2.cpp.

If not, then how do you deallocate memory intialized in the static
constructor?

I wrote many classes. In a class, there is a member variable which is
declared as char szMTreeBuf. On both Windows XP and VxWorks, it

codes, it cannot run normally. I modify the class delearation, and
change szMTreeBuf member variable to be local variable. Again it can

Hello,
I would like to know whethere there is a difference between
a const variable and a static const variable inside a class.
After all, if a variable is const in a class, the compiler can
always optimize and turn it into a static const variable to
save runtim memory/stack space since being const it
cannot be changed. (?)
Thanks,

I see that static is more restricted in C# than in C++. It appears
usable only on classes and methods, and data members, but cannot be
created within a method itself. Surely this is possible in C# in some
way? Or maybe no, because it is similar to a global variable (with its
scope restricted) which C# is dead against?

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
