That is the case, *except* if you pass it via const-ref. If you do that, then
ODR kicks in and you need to have the variable defined somewhere.
For variables in the file scope, the declaration is the definition, so it's not
a problem. For variables in a class scope, the static const declaration is
*not* the definition.
Try it:
struct Foo
{
static const int Max = 128;
};
void f()
{
QHash<int, QString> hash;
hash.insert(Foo::Max, "Max");
}
Hint:
iterator insert(const Key &key, const T &value);
(const ref for the key)
