Hello there,
is it possible to initialize such a static member that need some algorithm
for

initializing? What I mean is:

----------------------------------
Example: Platform VC++7.1
----------------------------------
#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

struct A {
static int ia[10];
}

for(int i=0;i<10;++i) { A::ia[i] = i; } // SYNTAX ERROR: 'for'

int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
{
cout << A::ia[5] << endl;
return 0;
}

---------------------------------

What is actually missing is a kind of "static constructor" for a class, sort
of

like in Java.

Any ways to do this?

Thx,
Agoston
