in an OOP extension using methods tagged as ZEND_ACC_STATIC, does ZE2
prevent them from being called statically or do i always need to do :

    if (!getThis()) {
           ERROR("Cannot call this method statically");
           RETURN_FALSE;

lets try again
 in an OOP extension using methods <em>NOT</em> tagged as ZEND_ACC_STATIC,
does ZE2
 prevent them from being called statically or do i always need to do :

     if (!getThis()) {
            ERROR("Cannot call this method statically");
            RETURN_FALSE;
     }
