Been a while since I wrote C++.  Normally I stick to C or go all the
way and use Java (veering offtopic...).

I wouldn't use methods as timer handlers.  This isn't Java.

Now I remember.  The 'static' keywords go in your class declaration:
class Class
{
  ...
  static void my_timer();
  static END_OF_FUNCTION(my_timer);
  ...
}
and leave static off the implementations.

This might have _bad_ effects; I can't guarantee the performance of a
method used as a timer handler.
