Nope.

you're saying this as if such construction never exists... but I'm sure it is !
for example, the following is perfectly valid : "If I were you, I wouldn't do that"...

Mark, wait.
I didn't say all I write is gramatically correct; I make mistakes sometimes.
BUT, isn't the construction I just asked you in this thread valid ?

I'm just goofin with you here, of course.

I see it now sorry
Yeah you are right I think. The more I say both versions, yours sounds better.
And using "was" implies past tense which seems silly.

And you're right [^]. Anyway it looks like 'wish ' is needed in the sentence.

Hi
I was in the understanding that if you declare a static function it can only be called from the source file where it is declared.
Am I missing something??
The error says "unresolved external symbol"
the call to the function is in file1.cpp where I have:
myClass::myFunction(variable1, variable2);
In myClass.h I have:
class myClass
{
static void myFunction
}
and in myClass.cpp I have the function definition:
myClass::myFunction()
{
//function definition
}
I can't call myFunction from file1.cpp
As you can tell I am a novice programmer and in desperate need of explanation

Yes That would make calling any external functions
impossible.

The linker can't find myClass.obj.
Is myClass.cpp not part of the project?

That's true.

Yes: in

is not an ordinary (i.e. C-style ) static function, is a static method (i.e is a member of the class even if you don't need an instance of the class to call it).

Maybe you forgot the part in red above...

Actually his sentence, steph5 wrote: I was in the understanding that if you declare a static function it can only be called from the source file where it is declared.
and yours Mark Salsbery wrote: Huh? I call static methods that aren't in the same

are not in conflict: standard (i.e C -like, not belonging to a class ) static functions have file scope, while static methods have not such a constraint.

C++ (actually Bjarne Stroustrup) don't talk about methods (which is more correct to Java/C#), but talks about member variables and member functions.

OOP talks about methods. C++ use its own jargon to name the same entity.

No doubt about.

Any ideas how I can have a function I can call from anywhere
but where I don't need an instance of the class to call it?
