What are the details of "non-static" restrictions in library or module

When compiling the motoko code, an error is reported:

    };

    // public let DEFAULT_ENGINE = 
    public let INVALID_VALUE: Nat8 = 255;

    public class FastPortableConfig() {
        var encode_padding: Bool = true;
        var decode_allow_trailing_bits: Bool = false;

        public func with_encode_padding(padding: Bool) {
            encode_padding := padding;
        };

        public func with_decode_allow_trailing_bits(allow: Bool) {
            decode_allow_trailing_bits := allow;
        };

        public func encode_padding() : Bool {
            encode_padding
        };
    };

    public let PAD: FastPortableConfig = FastPortableConfig();
    public let NO_PAD: FastPortableConfig = do {
        let f = FastPortableConfig();
        f.with_encode_padding(false);
        f
    };
};

It seems that there is a restriction in motoko. Object classes cannot be constructed in the module because they are non-static. Is there any relevant document to explain this restriction? I can’t find it here:

Did you manage to find a solution for this?

That link doesn’t work anymore :sweat_smile: is this what you’re looking for? → Internet Computer Content Validation Bootstrap
