Problem using static image and sprite variables

[AdventWolf]

Okay it's been a while since I've been programming but I'm back and I'm suffering from the same error. The thing is, when I use a static image or sprite variable, the program crashes and the "Lock.cpp" file is shown in Visual studio and the debugger points to

Code: [Select]


Lock::Lock(Mutex& mutex) :
myMutex(mutex)
{
    myMutex.Lock();
}

The program does not crash under release mode, ONLY debug. I am linking statically. Here is the code:

Code: [Select]


//example.hpp
#ifndef EXAMPLE_HPP_
#define EXAMPLE_HPP_

#include <SFML\Graphics.hpp>

class Example
{
static sf::Image image;
static sf::Sprite sprite;
};

#endif


Code: [Select]


//example.cpp
#include "example.hpp"

sf::Image Example::image;
sf::Sprite Example::sprite;


Code: [Select]


//main.cpp
#include <iostream>

int main()
{
}



Any advice is appreciated.

Don't use global SFML objects, the behaviour is undefined since they use SFML globals internally, and these globals may be constructed after yours.

Ah ok I see, good to know.
