local variables of static member functions

Question

Today we came accross a problem concerning static member functions in an multithreaded environment. The question we asked ourselves and couldn\'t find a satisfying answer is: ar

Answer 1

No, a, b, and c are not static.

Here's a sample that illustrates this:

class Val
{
public:
    Val() { cout << "Val" << this << endl; }
    ~Val() { cout << "~Val" << this << endl; }
    int n_;
};

class A
{
public:
    static int test()
    {
        Val a;
        a.n_ = rand();
        Val b;
        b.n_ = rand();
        Val c;
        c.n_ = a.n_ + b.n_;
        return c.n_;
    }
};

int main()
{
    srand(time(0));
    for( int i = 0; i < 5; ++i )
    {
        cout << "Test = " << A::test() << endl;
    }

    return 0;
