variable declarations in c++ - what am I doing wrong?

[downhiller80]

I'm writing a physics simulation that when run takes up 50Meg! This isn't right! I think my problem lies in declaring variables inside a function that is called many thousands of times a second, but how do I get round this without using global variables?

Post your code somewhere and I'll look at it.

I'm thinking it's all the repeated definitions that happen in the last function. I don't know much about c++ yet, should I be using static variables or something? I just hope it's not pointers...

Any particular reason you like to implement every method of a class in the class declaration?

I'd say first start off with moving _all_ of the method implementations into a single translation unit. Inline code is usually reserved for short, simple methods, like accessor functions, etc.

er, that's just the way i've been taught... can you tell me what you're talking about cos I haven't a clue!
