static variable in #define directive c++

Question

Is it possible to declare static variable in a #define directive?

    // header file
    #define TEXT_ENUM
    #ifdef TEXT_ENUM
        #define TEXT_HANDLING_MACRO  \
             static const char * TEXT[]; \
             static const char * getText( int _enum ) { \
                 return TEXT[_enum]; \
             }
    #else
        #define TEXT_HANDLING_MACRO
    #endif

    struct Foo {
        TEXT_HANDLING_MACRO
    };

   // cpp file
   #include "foo.h"

   const char * Foo::TEXT[] = { 
       "ONE",
       "TWO",
       "THREE",
       0
   };

How compiler will resolve static const char *, when I include this header file in some other file and try to access Foo::TEXT[].

It's resolved at the linking stage.
