No, but you can achieve the same effect by representing your static data
members as a single object of a class with a default constructor.

A private constructor is private, only accessible to that class.

There is no such thing as static constructor in C++.

No, it doesn't make any sense. Do you need your class to be prohibited
from creating more than one time?[color=blue]

Private constructor does exist and it is used to implement, for example,
very popular design pattern "Singleton" .

Potentially what the OP meant was the "factory method". A static
member that makes an object and returns a pointer (reference) to it.
Private c-tor goes hand in hand with that.

Yes, I think you're right. However, let's point out that "static
constructor" is a relatively standard term in software engineering,
because it does exist in a number of languages. But not in C++.
