    queue

    If I do this :
    Code:
    queue<Ccar *>q; 
    cout << q.empty();
    my class works ok

    If I do
    Code:
    static queue<Ccar *>q; 
    cout << q.empty();
    I get undefined reference to Ccar::q - what am I doing wrong ?

    Why do you want to make your queue static in the first place?

    If I use a queue<Ccar *>q; then each object of the Ccar class will have it's own queue. I'd like to have a shared queue that all object of Ccar can access.

    Unhappy

    You can make data members and member functions static- but I have not seen making classes static. (Can' t do this is in Java either.)

    I don't think that's what he meant.

    This works:

    Code:
    class Ccar
    {
        public:
        //shared queue
        static std::queue<Ccar*> q;
    };
    
    //place this definition in a .cpp file, not a header
    std::queue<Ccar*> Ccar::q;
    
    main()
    {
        //local static variable
        static std::queue<Ccar*> p;
        cout << Ccar::q.empty() << p.empty();
    }

    I got it and understand- I hope laasunde does! Sometimes knowing what a person wants done helps. I would do it the way you have done.
