Can Rhapsody in C++ be used to generate non member functions?

Eg: Effective C++ 55 Specific Ways to Improve Your Program and Design 3rd Ed
Item 23 - Prefer non-member non-friend functions to member functions
Iem 24 - Declare non-member functions when type conversions should apply to all parameters

And from C++ Coding Standards 101 Rules, Guidelines, and Best Practices By Herb Sutter and Andrei Alexandrescu
Chapter 44 - Prefer writing nonmember nonfriend functions
Chapter 57 - Keep a type and its nonmember function interface in the same namespace

here you go... attached an example

I had a look at the example and I read the section from the book.

Is this problem entirely associated with classes that represent numerics?

How does Java solve the issue?

Hi Shanz

never got any feedback from you if the sample fits to your needs..
In the meanwhile I've cleaned it up.. available in the sample section

http://www.rhapsody4you.org/rhapsody-7- ... -t240.html

Maybe you can write a reference to this sample in the IBM forum
