[Mono-list] [Fwd: Sample Test]

[Piers Haken]

Joe, there's no such thing as a global function in c#. Just like in
Java, every method must be a member of a class. I guess a public static
method could be considered 'global'. I'm sure this would be a good
addition to the Mono compiler test suites.

On the other hand, I'm not sure which C++ compilers you were trying. It
works fine for me on VC6, VC7, g++/cygwin, g++/debian.

Piers.
