Re: static std::vector<std::string> member and a static function

Hi,

I am getting this linker error:

error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "public: static class
std::vector<class std::basic_string<char,struct
std::char_traits<char>,class std::allocator<char> >,class
std::allocator<class std::basic_string<char,struct
std::char_traits<char>,class std::allocator<char> > > > &
__cdecl ......

I have a static std::vector<std::string> member in the private section
of my class. I am initializing/defining this static member in my cpp
file like this:

std::vector<std::string> MyClass::myStaticMember_ ;

then I have a function that returns a reference to the above vector:

std::vector<std::string> &myFunction()
{
    return myStaticMember_;
}

I am using this function in my main code like this:

std::vector<std::string> &myStrings = MyClass::myFunction();

I am using Visual Studio 2008 Team System.

Any help?
