static import

[jalina]

Is there something like the static import of java in C++ ? That is to
say to define an alias to a static variable of a class.

For example, if:

class A {
public:
static int sfield;
};

I want to be able to do something like (which I know is not valid):

using A::sfield; <== define sfield as an alias for A::sfield

// ....

sfield = 99; <== sfield is A::sfield


Thank you

int &sfield = A::sfield;

sfield = 99; <== sfield is A::sfield

Should now work.

class -> namespace

class A {
public:

static int sfield;

struct Monkey {
int k;
};

};

int main()
{
//Use a reference for the static data:

int& sfield = A::sfield;

//Use a typedef for the types it contains:

typedef A::Monkey Monkey;


//Now proceed:


sfield = 7;


Monkey object;
object.k = 6;

}
