Static Function Help C++

I can't get past this issue I am having. Here's a simple example:

class x
{
    public:
    void function(void);

    private:
    static void function2(void);
};

void x::function(void)
{
    x::function2(void);
}

static void function2(void)
{
     //something
}

I get errors in which complain about fun开发者_JAVA技巧ction2 being private. If I make it public (which I don't really want to do) I get errors about an undefined reference to function2. What am I doing wrong? Thank you!

1. You can't have a function declaration and definition both in a class. Either move the definitions out of the class or remove the declarations.

2. You can't call a function with a void as a parameter. That is used only in the declaration.

3. The function definition for function2 if outside the class will need a x:: qualifier and static is not needed the second time.

    class x
    {
        public:
            void function(void); 
        private:
            static void function2(void);
    };

    void x::function(void)
    { 
        x::function2(); 
    }

    void x::function2(void)
    {
    }

You must define function2 with

static void x::function2 (void)
{
    body
}

as it was with x::function

update: Yes. you don't need to mark class method with static when defining it.

class x
{
 public:
   void function(void);

 private:
   static void function2(void);
}; //end of class

// here are definitions of members
static void x::function(void)
{
  x::function2();
}
static void x::function2(void)
{
//something
}
