Hi,
I am confused at static variable in declaring and defining.
I have the following code in header file,
class c0;
class c1 {
static std::vector<c0> cs;
};
And in C file, I operate on c1::cs in some function. But VC7 compiler
complains that c1::cs is not initialized.
I have to add the following line to the top of the C code,
std::vector<c0> c1::cs;
Then it works.
This makes half sense to me. Static variable must be defined in
addition to declaring. But how come the above newly statement does the
definition? Is that because std::vector does some dummy initialization?
Then I have another header file,
class MyString {...};
static MyString myStr; // This variable does not belong to any
class
Then in the C file when I have
myStr = "";
The compiler complains that I am re-defining myStr.
I wonder what is going on? Because myStr is a standalone variable, so
its definition is defferent from class member? 1 1691 li*****@hotmail .com wrote: I am confused at static variable in declaring and defining.

That's the declaration.
};

Static member variables must. And only if they are of non-integral type
and are used outside the class itself.
But how come the above newly statement does the definition?
Because it's outside of the class, at the namespace level.
Is that because std::vector does some dummy initialization?
Nope. It's because the rules require it.
Then I have another header file, class MyString {...};
static MyString myStr; // This variable does not belong to any class
Then it's not a _member_, is it?
Then in the C file when I have myStr = ""; The compiler complains that I am re-defining myStr.
Huh? You must be including the header in more than one translation unit
and that introduces multiple _definitions_ in your program.
I wonder what is going on? Because myStr is a standalone variable, so its definition is defferent from class member?
Yep. You got it!

Hi all,
I have a query that scans huge table consists of 8 or more millions

the value into the query, it takes about 1 second. Here are the

In my software, there are some variables that represents some settings.
They usually are numerical variables: unsigned char (0..255),

I want to write a generic C function that changes the value of one parameter.
