    Static and namespace

    If I replace
    static int count;

    with
    Code:
    namespace
    {
     int count;
    }
    does this have the same meaning scopewise and memorywise?

    Yes; the former is a deprecated use of the static keyword, i.e. you should prefer the anonymous namespace.
