RE: static declaration of foo follows non-static declaration

[<Dhiraj dot Nilange at iflexsolutions dot com>]

Hi Aseem,

This is a pure 'C' code. So it doesn't have any class. Here foo is one
global function.

Basically this is a typical C file where many functions are 
defined (foo is used by some other functions in the same C file). Being
outside any scope they are global. There is no main function defined.


Thanks,
-Dhiraj

I doubt the way you are using foo () in your code. I hope you are aware 
that static functions should be used by prefixing them with class name. 
For ex. if class name is A and function is foo, you should write A::foo
().

If you can show some code, it would be better.
