In article <317523C0.5042@eps.agfa.be>, rorlic@eps.agfa.be says... >test.cpp(18) : error C2352: 'A::L::f' : illegal call of >nonstatic member function >Error executing cl.exe. >test.obj - 1 error(s), 1 warning(s) > >------------------------------------------------ > >Anybody knows what's wrong with it? >Thanks, > >-- Ranko. I think the error message is telling you exactly what is wrong. You can't call A::L::f because it is not a static function. A static function is shared between all instances of the class (it only has access to other static members), while nonstatic functions all have have access to the instance specific data of the class. A::L::f requires that f is a static function. Which A object do you expect the compiler to call f for? -- Chris Hill hillca@cs.purdue.edu
