No. That is glorified procedural style. 'Objects' as in 'OOP' carry data 
and _behavior_, structs don't (except if you give them some function 
pointers, but that is just implementing poor man's polymorphism.)

Having some kind of dynamic execution model is a requirement for OOP. 
There are no two ways about it.
