title: static LPTSTR variable loses value after function execution
body: <p>I'm writing C++ dll on Visual studio 2013. My dll should read parameters from ini file. So, I've created a function for this purpose (ReadConnectionSettings()). My static variable serverIP gets value properly during the function working, however once the function complete running the variable (serverIP) loses its value. What seems to be the problem?</p>
  
  <pre><code>static LPTSTR   serverIP = _TEXT("");
  
  void ReadConnectionSettings()
  {
      TCHAR url[256];
  
      GetPrivateProfileString(_T("Connection"), _T("Url"), _T(""), url, 256, NameOfIniFile);
  
      serverIP = url;
  
  }
  </code></pre>
