Static variable not initialized
- by Simon Linder
Hi all,
I've got a strange problem with a static variable that is obviously not initialized as it should be.
I have a huge project that runs with Windows and Linux. As the Linux developer doesn't have this problem I would suggest that this is some kind of wired Visual Studio stuff.
Header file
class MyClass
{
// some other stuff here
...
private:
static AnotherClass* const Default_;
};
CPP file
AnotherClass* const Default_(new AnotherClass(""));
MyClass(AnotherClass* const var)
{
assert(Default_);
...
}
Problem is that Default_is always NULL. I also tried a breakpoint at the initialization of that variable but I cannot catch it.
There is a similar problem in another class.
CPP file
std::string const MyClass::MyString_ ("someText");
MyClass::MyClass()
{
assert(MyString_ != "");
...
}
In this case MyString_is always empty. So again not initialized.
Does anyone have an idea about that? Is this a Visual Studio settings problem?
Cheers Simon
