Is this efficient for a header file and a class? Does a 'static local'
variable get created for each instance or include of the header file? Also,
'return _type().ToStrin g();' does not seem to work.
The error states:
Object.h(16): error C2662: 'DataLib::Objec t::_type' : cannot convert 'this'
pointer from 'const DataLib::Object ' to 'DataLib::Objec t &'
namespace DataLib
{
class Object
{
public:
virtual inline const char* ToString() const { return
_type().ToStrin g(); }
virtual inline const DataType &GetType() { return _type(); }
protected:
virtual const DataType& _type()
{
static DataType type("Object"," Object",0);
return type;
}
};

For your first question: Before worrying about efficiency, get a complete
system that does what you want. Then perhaps we'd be in a position to
discuss whether it is implemented in an efficient manner or not.
2nd question: The mechanism of "statics local to a function" is not
directly related to classes and header files; you just have a local static
variable within a function that happens to be a member function. So if
there is one instance of that member function across your entire program,
which in this case it looks like there would be, then yes, only one
instance of the variable you've named "type" would exist.
Also, 'return _type().ToStrin g();' does not seem to work.
That's because you've defined Object::ToStrin g as a const member function.
This makes its "*this" object logically const. Then you're invoking
Object::_type() on that same object...but Object::_type is a /non-const/
member function. The compiler won't let you invoke a non-const member
function on an object that is (in this case, "logically" ) const. So to fix
it, make Object::_type() be a const member function to match ToString(). Or
make them both non-const. I don't know which is best for your application,
because I don't particularly understand what you're doing. Fortunately, I
don't need to in order to answer these questions.

Why are there static methods in C#. In C++ static was applied to data only
(I believe) and it meant that the static piece of data was not a part of the
object but only a part of the class (one copy of data as opposed to multiple
instances of the class)
C# is now applying the static concept to methods. Why?, I thought that only
one copy of the methods were loaded into memory not matter how many
instances were created. Is this different...

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,
I learned that there are five kinds of static objects, namely
1. global objects
2. object defined in namespace scope
3. object declared static instead classes
4. objects declared static inside functions (i.e. local static
objects)
5. objects declared at file scope.

Hi clever people :-)
I've noticed a lot of people stating not to use static variables with
ASP.NET, and, as I understand it, the reason is because the variable is
shared across user sessions - which is Very Bad (tm) for reasons I
understand!
However, does this rule apply only to global static variables, or does
it apply to procedure-level static variables.

Hi Luis,
A static variable IS encapsulation. Encapsulation happens at many
levels: module, class, instance, and (in languages that support it)
method. A static local variable is simply the finest level of
encapsulation. (Well, actually you could go one finer in some
languages and have block-level static scope.)

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
