[Dev-C++] Static in member function

[Bjorn T. <bjo...@ho...>]

If a static variable is declared inside a member function of a class, what 
would happen?
That is, would all instances of the class use the same value, or would each 
instance have its own copy of the variable?


The function is defined something like this:

int Array::unshift()  // unshift
{
   static int *active=first;

   // the function is supposed to return the i:th element on the i:th call

}


Thanks for any help
