class a{ public: int b; static int c; virtual void mod() const { c=4;

class a{
public:
    int b;
    static int c;
    virtual void mod() const
    {
        c=4;
    }

};



int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
{
  a bi;

  return 0;
}

Look at this … After compiling it using Visual Studio C++ 2010 compiler, I get…

cpplearningconsole.obj : error
LNK2001: unresolved external symbol
“public: static int a::c” (?c@a@@2HA)

I guess this is a compiler bug.
For me, the real question is. Should mod be able to modify c variable if it is const?

Thanks.

    You have just declared the static variable in the class definition, you need to define it in the by doing int a::c = 0;.
