[Geekos-devel] why the Selector method is static?

[Behrang S. <beh...@ya...>]

Hi

I have been looking at the GeekOS code for sometime now, but because I have not been involved with C/C++ for a long time, I cannot understand evert aspect of the code.

As long as I know, a static function is only visible to the portions of its file that are after its declaration and is not visible outside of that file. The Selector method in the segment.h is defined to be static but it is referenced from some files other than the segment.h. How could it happen?

And, are the static functions defined in a file.h visible to the file.c?

Yours,
Behrang S.
