That's true.  But OP mentioned class methods in just one sentence but
all his examples (Ruby and C) were not using class methods.  Besides
it should not be too difficult to modify the code to generate class
methods.  I still would like to see more realistic requirements as all
speculations about proper ways to solve the problem are moot as long
as we do not know the problem.

Kind regards
