local variables of static member functions
<p>Today we came accross a problem concerning static member functions in an multithreaded environment. The question we asked ourselves and couldn't find a satisfying answer is:
are local varialbes of static member functions static as well?</p>

<pre><code>// header

class A
{
  static int test();
}

// implementation
int A::test()
{
  int a = rand();
  int b = rand();
  int c = a + b;

  return c;
}
</code></pre>

<p>Say you have two threads both calling A::test(). Is it possible that while thread 1 proccesses <code>c = a + b</code> thread 2 enters test() and changes the value of <code>a</code> by assigning the new return value of rand() or in other words do both threads operate an the some memory locations for a, b and c?</p>
