Static variable inside member function?

Code:

void Test::init()
{
    static int times_called = 0;
    ++times_called;
	
    // This should never happen!
    assert(times_called > 1);
}

I only have one single call to the init function in the code, and I still get this:

Code:

Assertion failed: (times_called > 1), function init, file ...
Program received signal:  “SIGABRT”.
mi_cmd_stack_list_frames: Not enough frames in stack.
mi_cmd_stack_list_frames: Not enough frames in stack.

Can't you use static variables like this inside class member functions?

EDIT: Even without the assert I still get the "not enough frames" error.

I note that the correct assertion is:

Code:

assert(times_called > 0);

Anyway, I am unable to duplicate your error:

Code:

#include <cassert>

class Test
{
public:
    void init();
};

int main()
{
    Test test;
    test.init();
}

void Test::init()
{
    static int times_called = 0;
    ++times_called;

    // This should never happen!
    assert(times_called > 0);
}

Post the smallest and simplest (compilable) program that demonstrates the error.

You're right, changing the assert (or setting times_called to 1 instead) makes the code run. I guess the "out of frames" error was from the debugger for some reason.

I have one question though: Does the static variable inside the function apply to all instances of the class, or will it be initialized every time a new instance is created?

Code:

#include <iostream>

class foo
{
public:
	void foo2()
	{
		static int n = 0;
		std::cout << &n << std::endl;
	}
};

int main()
{
	foo foo1;
	foo foo2;
	foo foo3;
	foo1.foo2();
	foo2.foo2();
	foo3.foo2();
}

Output:
