As an aside, is there any practical difference between "static const" and "const" in C++? The only difference I'm aware of is that the former is deprecated in the standard.

I believe the former gives internal linkage and the latter external linkage, so I always use the former for things defined in a source file and not declared in a header file and the latter for things defined or declared in a header file.


I don't have a normative reference at hand, but I'm fairly sure that both give internal linkage in C++ (unlike in C).
