Static unsigned int

[Jay03]

Hey guys, I tried searching for static unsigned int on Google but I get a lot of gibberish answers. It would be greatly appreciated if someone can give me a brief description about it because the document im trying to understand is full of static unsigned integers Thanks:doh:

The key here is 'static'. It tells system to allocate memory for the static variable in heap, rather than stack. So the value of the variable can be retrieved globally.

ask a more precise question here, and you'll have concise answers... static is a keyword that have different meaning depending on the place it's used. unsigned int is a data type, and here again, can have different meaning depending on how it's used

Uh, no? unsigned int is always a unsigned int.

No, static tells the compiler to allocate the memory in the static memory area. new, malloc, etc, allocate from the heap.

as i understand it, i think toxcct meant that it could be either used in a variable declaration/definition, type casts, function returns... but maybe it's just me, and i misunderstood :) -- TTD --

Maybe so..
