That's right. But you can make it a static method though:
static void RadeonTNL::v3f( GLfloat x, GLfloat y, GLfloat z )
{
GET_CONTEXT_FROM_THREAD_LOCAL_STORE( ctx )
// get tnl somehow
// do your thing here...
}
If the "*this" pointer isn't passed by any of the arguments, then using
a static method is mostly for convenience and aesthetics. This you can
inherit an unmodified version from a parent class, access the tnl
private data, and the collections of callbacks can be managed as a
whole by the TNL classes or its children.
