Hello All,
I am facing a problem as follows.
I have a header file called myNameSpace.h which as the following
contents.
//Header file .. myNameSpace.h
namespace myNameSpace {
static int iMyInt = 0;
};
And my source file, as follows.
// Source file myNameSpace.cpp
#include "myNameSpac e.h"
myNameSpace::iM yInt = 0;
int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
return 0;
}
This gives me a compiler error.. on MingW.
D:/users/others/cpp_trials/SimplePrograms/myNameSpace.cpp :5: ISO C++
forbids declaration of `iMyInt' with no type
D:/users/others/cpp_trials/SimplePrograms/myNameSpace.cpp :5:
redefinition
of `int myNameSpace::iM yInt'
D:/users/others/cpp_trials/SimplePrograms/myNameSpace.h:5 : `int
myNameSpace::iM yInt' previously defined here
at the same time ..
#include "myNameSpac e.h"
int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
myNameSpace::iM yInt = 0;
return 0;
}
This compiles..
I understand it is true for any variable declaration, at the global
namespace. Once declared any other reinitalization , is taken as a
re-definition.
I would like to know what is the correct explanation to this ?
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks in Advance

This is dubious. If you include this header in more than one source file you
will get multiple variables. If you change the value of the variable in one
file you will not see the change in another file. Is that what you want? It
seems unlikely.

// Source file myNameSpace.cpp
#include "myNameSpac e.h"

This is wrong, you have missed out the type (int). int main(int argc, char* argv[]) { return 0; }
This gives me a compiler error.. on MingW.

Because it is an assignment not a declaration. I understand it is true for any variable declaration, at the global namespace. Once declared any other reinitalization , is taken as a re-definition.
I wouldn't know about that. I try to declare and initialise my variables
once only.
I would like to know what is the correct explanation to this ? Any help will be appreciated. Thanks in Advance ~Ik
Here's what you should be doing (probably)
//Header file .. myNameSpace.h
namespace myNameSpace {
extern int iMyInt;
}
// Source file myNameSpace.cpp
#include "myNameSpac e.h"
namespace myNameSpace {
int iMyInt = 0;
}
It's really just the same as global variables outside of a namespace.

There should be no trailing semicolon after a namespace definition.
And my source file, as follows.
// Source file myNameSpace.cpp
#include "myNameSpac e.h"
myNameSpace::iM yInt = 0;
int myNameSpace::iM yInt = 0; // Redefinition
If your intent was to give it a value then it should have been in a function
block. You can't have such floating expressions without a function body.
int main(int argc, char* argv[]) { return 0; }
This gives me a compiler error.. on MingW.
D:/users/others/cpp_trials/SimplePrograms/myNameSpace.cpp :5: ISO C++ forbids declaration of `iMyInt' with no type
This is because you missed on the "int".
D:/users/others/cpp_trials/SimplePrograms/myNameSpace.cpp :5: redefinition of `int myNameSpace::iM yInt'
This is becuase you are redefining myNameSpace::iM yInt.
D:/users/others/cpp_trials/SimplePrograms/myNameSpace.h:5 : `int myNameSpace::iM yInt' previously defined here
at the same time ..
#include "myNameSpac e.h"
int main(int argc, char* argv[]) { myNameSpace::iM yInt = 0;
Inside a function this is just an expression assigning 0 to
myNameSpace::iM yInt.
return 0; }

I have noticed that C programmers put static keyword beside global
variable and global functions in C source codes. I believe that it is not
necessary and it is not the practice in C++. Static keyword is useful
inside struct, class, and function only unless you want to force local
variable to be global variable so static is used.
Do you have idea why most programmers do this?

What's a better practice?
Declaring and initializing variables inside a loop routine, like this:

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.

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.
