Hi,
When modifying a data member in a class declaration, the static keyword
specifies that one copy of the member is shared by all instances of the
class.
Does that mean that the address of the data member is the same for
every instance of that class? I would expect so, but I noticed
something that makes me doubt a little.
What happens for example with the address of a static data member, that
uses in fact a type as specified in the argument list of a template
class?
An example:
template <class TYPE>
class MyClass
{
static MyClass<TYPE*pt r;
};
For every instance of this class
- will there be only one address where the value of ptr is stored?
- or will there be provided one ptr data member storage for each type
of TYPE?
- or does every instance, in this case, get its own static data member
storage?
Kind regards,
Frederiek

Correct.

Yes, by definition.

An example:

{
static MyClass<TYPE*pt r;
};
The above is not a class, it's a class template. Until a class is
instantiated, there is no class.
For every instance of this class
- will there be only one address where the value of ptr is stored?
For a particular instantiation of the class template (e.g.,
MyClass<int>), yes.
- or will there be provided one ptr data member storage for each type
of TYPE?
Each instantiation for a different type is a different class, and so
will have a different static member.
In other words, MyClass<intand MyClass<doublea re NOT the same
class. Accordingly, they do not share the same static member.
- or does every instance, in this case, get its own static data member
storage?
No, every instance of a particular instantiation of the class template
will share the same static member.
By the way, you need to include a declaration of that static member
somewhere as well.

This is sort of my first attempt at writing a template container class, just
wanted some feedback if everything looks kosher or if there can be any
improvements. This is a template class for a binary search tree. Note there
is a requirement for this to be a Win32/MFC "friendly" class, thus the use
of CObject and POSITION. There is also a requirement for there not to be a
separate iterator class.

I have a C++ template class which contains a static variable whose
construction registers the class with a map. Something like this:

};
The constructor of Registrar does the registering when it is initialized.

Hello Experts!
I have the following Array template class see below.
I execute these three statements
statement 1: Array<int> x(5);
statement 2: cin >>x;
statement 3: Array<int>::element_type y = x;
but I can't understand the last one which is
Array<int>::element_type y = x;
We have a typedef T element_type; in the template Array class see below

Hey C++ folks,
I created this today, just for fun.
You can make object allocation for any class around 6 times faster,
simply by doing the following.
class MyClass : public TXpQAlloc<MyClass,N>
N is a chunking factor (defaults to 10).

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