convert static final from java to c++

[silverburgh.meryl]

I am trying to convert this code from java to c++:

public final class Type {

public static final int DEFAULT = 1;
private static int index = 2;
public static final int COLUMN1 = (int) Math.pow(2, index++);
public static final int COLUMN2 = (int) Math.pow(2, index++);
public static final int COLUMN3 = (int) Math.pow(2, index++);
public static final int COLUMN4 = (int) Math.pow(2, index++);

}

c++

static const int index = 2;
static const int COLUMN1 = pow(2, index++);
static const int COLUMN2 = pow(2, index++);
static const int COLUMN3 = pow(2, index++);
static const int COLUMN4 = pow(2, index++);
Should I put that in .cpp file? or .h file?

Thank you.

If you must preserve that "index" business (which looks strange to me),
then:

<in .h file>

class Type
{
static const int COLUMN1;
static const int COLUMN2;
static const int COLUMN3;
static const int COLUMN4;
};

<in .cpp file>

static int index = 2; // can't be const, since it's incremented

const int Type::COLUMN1 = pow(2, index++);
const int Type::COLUMN2 = pow(2, index++);
const int Type::COLUMN3 = pow(2, index++);
const int Type::COLUMN4 = pow(2, index++);
