Use case:
class A {
static int s_common;
public:
static int getCommon () const { s_common; };
};
Typically this results in an error as:
error: static member function 'static int A::getCommon()' cannot have
cv-qualifier
This is because const
ness applies only to the object pointed by this
, which is not present in a static
member function.
However had it been allowed, the static
member function's "const"ness could have been easily related to the static
data members.
Why this feature is not present in C++; any logical reason behind it ?
