Post From: sc. structure passed by reference as default value to all functions

is there any way to pass sc structure to custom functions by &reference, and having it as a default value?

here is what i mean..

For example I have a class like this

namespace util{
class Logger {
public:
static void log(SCStudyInterfaceRef& sc, SCDateTime value, SCString comment = "") {
SCString s = sc.FormatDateTime(value).GetChars();
comment += s;
sc.AddMessageToLog(comment, 1);
}

static void log(SCStudyInterfaceRef& sc, const char* value, SCString comment = "") {
comment += value;
sc.AddMessageToLog(comment, 1);
}

static void log(SCStudyInterfaceRef& sc, int value, SCString comment = "") {
SCString strVal = std::to_string(value).c_str();
comment += strVal;
sc.AddMessageToLog(comment, 1);
}
};

The first argument is of course SCStudyInterfaceRef which I am passing via ref &.

then the called needs to pass this argument sc


SCSFExport scsf_LogUtilsTest(SCStudyInterfaceRef sc) {

SCDateTime TradingDayStartDateTime = sc.GetTradingDayStartDateTimeOfBar(sc.BaseDateTimeIn[sc.IndexOfLastVisibleBar]);

util::Logger::log(sc, TradingDayStartDateTime);
util::Logger::log(sc, 3.23);
}

But, it is tedious to pass sc all the time everywhere. I would like to make it default in all my custom functions because it is obvious it will be passed there, there is no other option anyway

But I did not figure out how to make it work.

Any suggestions?
