How do you call a regular member function from a static member function?

How do you call a regular member function from a static member
function? Any idea?

[guyarad]

By definition, you can't.
static member functions don't a particular instance of the class it
resides in.
usually, if you need an access to a specific instance, you must pass a
pointer to the instance to the static function.

class A {
public:
void f(){}
static void g() {
A a;
a.f();
}
};

int main() {
A::g();
return 0;
}

Exactly the same way that you call a regular member function anywhere
else. There is nothing special about static member functions in this regard.

To call a regular member function you need an object of the appropriate
type. Then you use that to call the regular member function. E.g.

SomeObject obj;
obj.some_function();

The above code will work perfectly well in a static member function or
anywhere else.

Is this a trick interview question or are you trying to write some code
dependent
on it, since this is likely to be a bad thing to do...post some code.

Yes, this is a trick interview question .

why do this?
use non-static member function instead.
