I have confusion about 'this' pointer for static member function.
Does the compiler pass 'this' pointer to the static member function.

I have made a class as follows:

class check {
private:
int x;
public:
check()(0){}
check(int a)(a){}
~check() {}
void callstatic() {this->print();} // here I am using 'this'
pointer for static member function
// and it is
working..WHY? Since no this pointer is given to static member function
static void print() {cout<<"STATIC";}
};

No. Static member functions are not associated with an instance of a class.

This isn't a static member function.

But this is.
