That's not true.

"static" function variables are constructed the first time through the section
of code.

i.e.

int f( int a )
{
   static int x( a );
   return x;
}

...
    cout << z( 1 ) << " " << z( 2 );
...
prints "1 1".

also

int z( int a )
{
   if ( a & 1 )
   {
       static int v( a )
       return v;
   } else {
       static int v( a );
       return v;
   }
}

cout << z( 1 ) << " " << z( 2 ) " ";
cout << z( 3 ) << " " << z( 4 );

prints "1 2 1 2"
