Question

I want to know if I have a static variable within a class member function if that variable will only have an instance for that class or for each object of that class. Here’s an example of what I want to do.

class CTest
{
public:
  testFunc();

};

CTest::testFunc()
{
  static list<string> listStatic;
}

Is listStatic per instance or per class?

Answer 1

It is per that function CTest::testFunc() – each invokation of that member function will use the same variable.
