Storage-Class Specifiers

The C++ storage-class specifiers tell the compiler the duration and visibility of the object or function they declare, as well as where an object should be stored.

The following are storage-class specifiers 1:

• auto2

• register

• static

• extern

Notes

1. The mutable keyword may be considered a storage class specifier. However, it is only available in the member list of a class definition.

2. Starting with Visual C++ 2010, the auto keyword is no longer a C++ storage-class specifier. For more information, see auto Keyword.
