Error on window declaration

[chessguy]

Greetings. Anyway...yup. Another problem.

If I use a window in a function (local), it works fine. However, when I made a global container, with it as a static member, its declaration (in the cpp), it threw an exception:

Unhandled exception at 0x772222B2 (ntdll.dll) in BlockScreensaver.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation writing location 0x00000004.

^the two files related to this. Anyway, it throws on the cpp, on the declaration of the window.

Any ideas?

I think that I saw somewhere on the forums that declaring a static window is a bad idea, since it interferes with the global variables used internally by SFML. I could be wrong, but you could try redesigning your program to not rely on a static window.

massive_potato is right. In general, avoid static and global variables unless really necessary. There is almost always a way around them, it just requires some thinking about design
