Re: Next priority: Maximum value of simulation time

I tried Philipp's code on gcc and it worked, which confirms Puneet's story.

Section 7.1.2 Stroustrup The C++ Programming Language

If a local variable is declared static, a single, statically allocated object will be used to represent that variable in all calls of the function. It will be initialized only the first time the thread of execution reaches its definition.
 
In our case (as suggested by Phillipp) that would happen only when the first call to sc_max_time() is made.
