No. The closest thing you need is &foo:static_func (note &), but it is 
still not correct, since pthread expects pointer to "C" function.
C++ code can provide extern "C" function, but *not* member function, 
even if static, because member functions cannot be extern "C".

The trick with static member is popular, but incorrect, at least with 
pthreads (but it may work elsewhere, like with Windows API when compiled 
with Microsoft compilers).
