Difference between const and static const

[RichardF]

Hi,

Is there any difference or benefit between the following :

static const int MyConstant = 99;

or

const int MyConstant = 99;


Thanks in advance,
Rich.

If I remember correctly, declaring a global static will only make it global in the file you are in. Extern will not be able to get at it where as the non-static can be accessed with "extern"

Ok thanks,

I am presuming that either way makes no difference to the performance of the app.
