Yeah I tried that same thing too and then wondered if I had
misinterpreted how function-scoped statics worked.
I've often used a method like:
function Init()
{
static $bln_inited = false;
if (!$bln_inited)
{
// Do stuff
$bln_inited = true;
}
}
I had always assumed that the static definition here was
function-scoped... I guess I should have tested more but still it caught
me off guard this morning when I played with it.
Correct me if I'm wrong but does C++ not do it as both of us initially
thought? e.g. static is function scoped rather than globally scoped when
used within a class method?
