c++ static struct does not name a type

In ClassA.h I define a struct pointer like:

 struct timestr
 {
  uint64_t timestart;
  uint64_t timeend;
 };

 static timestr *extime;

And in the ClassA.cpp, I initialize like: 

timestr *ClassA::extime = NULL;

however I got error: timestr does not name a type. What is wrong here?

Probably because the timestr structure is inside the containing class, in which case you need to use the scoping for that too:

ClassA::timestr *ClassA::extime = NULL;
