I mean, if you change the name to "BufferPool::get_record" and you use an implicit this pointer instead of your "pool" argument, you have a method. It seems like you're fighting the paradigm more than you need to.

You're not wrong but for some reason this style is easier for me to work with

I know logically/semantically they're equivalent. The v-table function generated if the method is moved inside the class/struct winds up being identical.

Dunno what it is, some kind of familiarity bias with the way the code is laid out I guess, not coming from OOP languages

Unless you add some additional semantics/keywords, it's not going to create a vtable.

I'm sure that's what it is.

Note: it wouldn’t generate a vtable entry unless the method was declared virtual.

Ahh, what do you call the method table thing for non-virtual classes?
