Static data members and templates (C++ only)

Each class template instantiation has its own copy of any static data members. The static declaration can be of template argument type or of any defined type.

You must separately define static members. The following example demonstrates this:

template <class T> class K
{
public:
      static T x;
};
template <class T> T K<T> ::x;

int main()
{
      K<int>::x = 0;
}
