This article delves into the practical implications of using both static and constexpr modifiers for variables inside C++ functions. By analyzing the separation of compile-time and runtime, C++ object model memory requirements, and optimization possibilities, it concludes that the static constexpr combination is not only effective but often necessary. It ensures that large arrays or other variables are initialized at compile time and maintain a single instance, avoiding the overhead of repeated construction on each function call. The article also discusses rare cases where static should be omitted, such as to prevent runtime object pollution from ODR-use.
