Initializing static class member

Hi All,

I'm writing a Windows DLL which contain some utility classes.
One of my classes is Singleton, therefore contain some static members.
I'm using VC6 and linking to the DLL statically.

My question is where is the correct (and best way) to initialize
theses variables? If I initialize them in the class CPP (in the DLL)
then I get linkage error when I try to link my project with the LIB,
and I don't want to make the user initialize those variables.

---- The DLL mydll.dll :
classA.h:

class DLL_EXPORT A{
static int x;
}

classA.cpp
I would like to write:

int A::x = 0;
----

Thanks,
Avi

And he continued: because when I try the correct way in my DLLs it does not work.


You thought he was off topic because you thought something about his DLL was
part of the problem. It wasn't. It had nothing to do with it. His
question was 100% on topic. The DLL was a red herring that you fell for.
If you'd stop worrying so much about your image and the party line, we'd all
be better off.

That is the correct way. If that doesn't work, he has some other problem.


His problem is with some DLL mechanism, once he has posted the right
way of initializing the static variable and reports that he is
recieving a linkage error. So it's OT in this newsgroup.

He obviously wanted to know what the right way of initializing the static
variable was. Did you read the post?
