I agree. People need to careful with static declrations anyway.

I think you meant 
      // tu2.cpp
      #include <iostream>
      class Foo
      {
         // huge class declaration
      };
 
      Foo::Foo()
      {
         std::cout << "Foo created" << std::endl;
      }
      
      Foo f;
