using this in static member function

[Tony Johansson]

Hello Experts!!

I wonder if you use this within a static member function what does it mean
because you can call a static member function without having an object.

If you have instansited an object and you call a member function within that
object it's make sense to use this in that member function.

The difference between a static and a non-static function is whether it has
a this pointer or not. So you can not.

It means nothing. There is no this pointer. That's what 'static' in this
context is all about.
