Re: Initializing STL vector in a header class

The compiler probably have parsed up to `myvec(' and now thinks it is a
declaration of a member function returning `vector<int>' (try
`vector<int> myvec()'-- it should compile cleanly). Next, it sees `5'
but expects a type hence the error message "unexpected constants".


Nothing to do with header file. If you want member initialization
define a constructor like this:

class CVector
{
public:
    CVector(void)
        : myvec(5, 24)
    {
    }
private:
    std::vector< int > myvec;
};

It is most certainly of no use to hardcode these values into
constructor, but it compiles :)
Static integral constants, however may be initialized in the class
declaration like this:

class Statics
{
    static int const g_one = 1;
};
