I can't seem to get a static integer in one class to be incremented in the constructor of another class. Is it legal to do this, or am I just doing something syntactically wrong?
the constructor looks like this:
classname() {classname::variablename++;}
would that be correct? Yes the static integer is public
Sure, you can do that. But you should post a more complete example of how you are attempting this.
Code:#include <cmath> #include <complex> bool euler_flip(bool value) { return std::pow ( std::complex<float>(std::exp(1.0)), std::complex<float>(0, 1) * std::complex<float>(std::atan(1.0) *(1 << (value + 2))) ).real() < 0; }
well I just worked my way around the problem by having an 'add' method in the owner class which calls push_back on the vector and increments its own static integer variable instead of having the owned structure do it in the constructor
if a variable is declared static in a function, it can only be accessed in that functin, if it is declared in a class, it must be public to access it.
