static member linker problem

Show all headers | View raw

Hello,

I have written a header-only class with inline calls like in a header 
file only like:

--header.hpp---
class myclass {

    public :

    private :
         static anotherclass obj;
}

No i do the initialization in the same header file:
anotherclass myclass::obj;

If I include this header in one cpp of another project, everything 
works fine, but if the projects has more than one cpp
file, that includes the header, I get the linker error, that there are 
duplicated calls for the myclass::obj part.
I can create a cpp file with the initialization, but is there a 
"header-only" solution to do the initialization without
linker problems eg a design pattern or anything else? My goal the 
static members should be initialize within
their header file and the header files can be include more than once.

Thanks

Phil
