Hello!

You can implement static functions that act like members, like so:

---
void myFunc(MyClass c) { ... }
---

Which you will be able to call like:

---
auto c = new MyClass();
c.myFunc();
---

because of uniform function call syntax (UFCS).

But they won't be real methods (virtual member functions), which means they
can't be overridden.

Note that you can use the class's private members in such functions, because private things in D are private to the file (module) instead of the
containing class or struct.

I don't think it's possible to do the same thing as in C++ though; but I
might be wrong.

2 all:
Thanks for replies!

Why would you like to do that?

I planned to use it to take event handling out from class (and put it in another file), but now I see that isn't a good idea.
class App
{
    void updateEvents(SDL_Event event) { ... }
}


By the way, it would be useful if it was written somewhere that implementation outside the class is impossible.

Sorry for bad English.
