I want to const declare the this pointer received as an argument.

static void Class::func(const OtherClass *otherClass) 
{ 
   // use otherClass pointer to read, but not write to it.
}

It is being called like this:

void OtherClass::func()
{
  Class::func(this);
}

This does not compile nad if i dont const declare the OtherClass pointer, I can change it.

Thanks.

    You cannot define static class memberv functions like this:

    static void Class::func(const OtherClass *otherClass) 
    { 
       // use otherClass pointer to read, but not write to it.
    }
    

    The function must be declared static in the class declaration, and then the function definition looks like:

    void Class::func(const OtherClass *otherClass) 
    { 
       // use otherClass pointer to read, but not write to it.
    }
