- Original Class
- SOMClass
Syntax
long somGetNumStaticMethods (SOMClass receiver)
Parameters
- receiver (SOMClass)

Return Code
- rc (long)

Example Code
#include <animal.h>
main()
{
long numMethods;
AnimalNewClass(Animal_MajorVersion, Animal_MinorVersion);
numMethods = _somGetNumStaticMethods(_Animal);
somPrintf("Number of static methods supported by class: %d\n",
numMethods);
