initilaize static const array
hi,
this is what i would like to do:
PHP Code:
//test.h
class test
{
static const int test::arr[5] = {1,2,3,4,5};
}
but i am not allowed to...
Instead i have to initialize the array separately
PHP Code:
//test.h
class test
{
static const int arr[5];
}
//test.cpp
const int test::arr[5] = {1,2,3,4,5};
Out of interest, why?
The first version seem a lot more intuitive to me; and all the code & data is nicely in one place.
Does the actual way yield any advantage i dont see right away?
just wondering...

You are not allowed to initialize values inside the class definition. As said, it's the definition of the class... nothing more, nothing less.

Well, there is an exception for static const integer member variables, but an array thereof, nope.
