Not necessarily. You could use a static member function. But if you need
to get at object data, you'll have to get that passed in explicitly.

But this is nothing to do with g++ specifically, so if "Rich" has any more
questions with respect to this, he should ask them in comp.lang.c++ for a
more appropriate response.
