static and non-static function

[wow9999]

Hi all Can a static function call a non-static function inside the same class? or Can a static function call a non-static function in different class? Thanks

Yes, no problem. As long as you have the object you wish to invoke the function. Tim Smith I'm going to patent thought. I have yet to see any prior art.

Dear Tim Smith can you show me a example or hint to see a static or non-static funciton to call a static or non-static function. Thanks

class Foo
{
public:
void Blah();

static void Blech()
{
Foo f;
f.Blah();
}
};

-c

A static method doesn't have a this reference. Hence, it can only call other static methods of its class. However, if the static method has access to an instance of a class, it can call that instance's static or non-static method.

class Foo {
...
public:
static void staticFuncA();
static void staticFuncB();
void nonStaticFunc();
}

void Foo::staticFuncA()
{
staticFuncB(); // OK
nonStaticFunc(); // invalid, since no "this" reference

Foo f;
f.nonStaticFunc(); // OK
}

1)Yes, if I pass to the function object of its class. 2) By a same way. ================================ Useful links
