Static data memer

[Surya Kiran]

Hi all,
I've 2 classes class A, and class B.
and i want to use list of type B in class A. like this

list<B> typeB ;

till now its fine. But i want to make it a static member. like

static list<B> typeB ;

declaration is not a problem. Definition is the problem. I've 2
constructors for class B
1. default constructor B()
2. B (int a, int b)

how can i define the static member in class A, for both the
constructors.

Thanks in advance,
Surya

How about posting the code and the error you get ?

Static members are only constructed once, so as you don't get to
construct it multiple times, therefor choose the B ctor that is most
relevant. Most probably the default one.

This name is confusing - it is not a type.[color=blue]

Well... a static member - if this is what you want - is not declared in a
constructor. This is what you want:

// header
#include <list>
class B {};

class A
{
static std::list<B> list_of_b;
};

// source
std::list<B> A::list_of_b;

Kind regards

Re: Static data memer

My question is how do we initialize a pointer to static member.

if its a ordinary class (class MyClass) we can initialize it to NULL,
but my question is

//someclass.hpp
class someclass
{
....
static list<MyClass> *mylist ; //declaring is over.
....
};

//Lets assume i'm initialize it in someclass.cpp
//how do i initialize it.
//obviously not like this
// list<MyClass>* someclass::myli st = 0;

Please clarify.
Thanks in advance,
Surya

And your example shows a static member that is a pointer, not a pointer
to static member. Do you actually know what you want?

You can initialise any pointer to 0, regardless what it points to.

Yes, that's the way, if you want to be explicit. Static data are
initialised to 0 anyway, even if you don't provide an initialiser.
