Const method accessing static variables

Question

I apologize if this was asked before. My search results did not become a similar question.

This is a conceptual question. According to MSDN and others:

A constant member function cannot modify any data elements or call any member functions that are not constants

Why are we allowed to access static member variables from the const method?

The C ++ standard talks about constmember functions:

If a member function is declared const, the type of this parameter const X*, [...]

- const , , const; - const .

, , "" -.

, , , , - const, , this const.

this ( ), const.
