Yeah I tried that same thing too and then wondered if I had misinterpreted how function-scoped statics worked. I've often used a method like: function Init() { static $bln_inited = false; if (!$bln_inited) { // Do stuff $bln_inited = true; } } I had always assumed that the static definition here was function-scoped... I guess I should have tested more but still it caught me off guard this morning when I played with it. Correct me if I'm wrong but does C++ not do it as both of us initially thought? e.g. static is function scoped rather than globally scoped when used within a class method? Col
