Summary: static variables inside member functions Product: gcc Version: 4.4.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: trivial Priority: P3 Component: c++ AssignedTo: unassig...@gcc.gnu.org ReportedBy: micha...@tiscali.it I know it has been probably discussed several times and probably eons ago. The language semanthics may induct to assume static variables defined in a member function are going to be modified only for a specifc class instance - obviously this is not happening. Not a c++ bug, a c++ trap.
