It exists already, but is called 'static'
program testso;
Type
MyObject = Object
procedure MySomething; static;
end;
Procedure MyObject.MySomething;
begin
Writeln('OK');
end;
Var
O : MyObject;
begin
O.MySomething;
end.

Hello,
while converting bullet physic code to native fpc, i would find it handy
to have something like "class" methods for objects. (Methods without self
pointer)
(It would enhance the readability of the code much, because I were not
forced to
move such c++ class functions to global functions)
Reading doc and wiki I found nothing similar.
A simple test of the below showed test code gives me the following
impression.
a) It's not fully implemented
b) It's not handled right in the compiler
(the code should not compile if the second writeln is commented)
c) It has to be used differently.
Thanks for comments,
helmut
