Static class object as class member

[zanklob]

Hi,
I am trying to create a static object of a class b as a member of a class c. But I keep getting errors. What I do is simply declare it private in class c like this "b obj;" and I try to use the methods of b inside c. Can you help me? When I declare the object as global everything works fine.

Thanks in advance.

To summarize the above link, you have to define the static member outside the class:

class_c.hpp

#include "class_b.hpp"

class c {
private:
    static b obj;
};

class_c.cpp

#include "class_b.hpp"

b c::obj;
