stacst, stadef… and static? What is `static`?

[Yannick Duchêne]

Hi all,

I know `stacst` as in:

stacst index(i: int, j: int): int

in my understanding, meaning “anything which may exist of that type”.

I know `stadef` as in:

stadef index(i: int, j: int): int = (i - 1) + j

in my understanding, meaning “one which exist of that type”

But what the `static` keyword is used for?

It’s for static C functions, see [1].

OK, thanks. So that's not really ATS.
