static initialization confusion
- by Happy Mittal
I am getting very confused in some concepts in c++. For ex: I have following two files
//file1.cpp
class test
{
static int s;
public:
test(){s++;}
};
static test t;
int test::s=5;
//file2.cpp
#include<iostream>
using namespace std;
class test
{
static int s;
public:
test(){s++;}
static int get()
{
return s;
}
};
static test t;
int main()
{
cout<<test::get()<<endl;
}
Now My question is :
1. How two files link successfully even if they have different class definitions?
2. Are the static member s of two classes related because I get output as 7.
Please explain this concept of statics.
