Well it is probably because you change the meaning of the variable. In the old 
version (const qint32 dataIdx), your variable is constant across the duration 
of the function. In the new version, (static const qint32 dataIdx) the 
variabe is constant for _all_ invocations of the function (after the first 
one).

Observe:
bartcopp at tuvok-debian:~/pruts$ cat constint.cc
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int foo(int arg) { return arg + 1; }

int fun1(int arg) {
    static const int val = arg;
    return val;
}

int fun2(int arg) {
    const int val = arg;
    return val;
}

int main() {
    cout << fun1(1); cout << " " << fun1(2) << endl;
    cout << fun2(1); cout << " " << fun2(2) << endl;
}
