TITLE: Dimensions and initialization of arrays

PROBLEM: stefans@bauv106.informatik.unibw-muenchen.de (Stefan Schwarz)

I want to use a static array within a class, and therefore i
initialize it as follows:

foo.h:
------

class Foo
{
private:
        static int array[2][2];
public:
        Foo() {};
};

foo.c:
------
int Foo::array[2][2] = { 1,2, 3,4};

Is there any way to avoid the double definition of the array-bounds, so
i could easyly change the size of my array.

First, for a 2d array, you need only specify the number of columns.
Now then:

	class Foo {
		enum { Cols = 2 };
		static in array[][Cols];
		// ...
	public:
		// ...
	};

	int Foo:array[][Cols] = { 1,2,3,4 };

To change the number of colums, just change Foo::Cols.
