I am a newbie to C++ and facing a problem.
I read in a book that memory is allotted to a static variable, once the object is created of that class. Now, what if I make this static variable global ? When would be it initialized in that case ?
Plus, I have also read in some articles that static variables are allotted on heap and they dont rely on the construction of objects...is this true ? If yes, please explain the memory initialization steps to me, I need help.
Thanks a lot !
