I have a global function called ("UPDATE") that is static and only visible in the c++ file. However, it is still crucial to the classes function and I want to depict it in my staruml map.

I tried to do this by simply putting text in a rounded rectangle but I cant connect any arrows to this (I wish to demonstrate the use of the function using arrows etc).

The exact reasoning for me not making this a static member is that I need it to be accessible to a thread but not by the user instantiating the class.

What is the "correct" way to depict such a function?

  • As mentioned above, this is simply not possible in UML. So I guess StarUML (if it's an UML tool) will also have no solution. – qwerty_so Oct 02 '17 at 06:08
  • A suggestion, if the file maybe a dedicated namespace which could be modeled as a package, you can use a package visibility ~. That's could a solution to model you point, but if you need code generation also this is another story. – granier Oct 05 '17 at 16:23
