Instead of a static data object or static class data member, use a function with a local static object. But this adds the overhead of the function call mechanism to every use of the object. This may not be appropriate for this forum, but I have also found that it will cause the heap to be corrupted if such a function is called in a driver DLL under Win NT 3.51 and VC 4.0, although I have no idea why. Global statics don't seem to have the same limitation. Regards, Randal. --- [ comp.std.c++ is moderated. To submit articles: Try just posting with your newsreader.
