How do I obtain a function pointer for a class member function, and later call that member function with a specific object? I’d like to write:
class Dog : Animal
{
Dog ();
void bark ();
}
…
Dog* pDog = new Dog ();
BarkFunction pBark = &Dog::bark;
(*pBark) (pDog);
…
Also, if possible, I’d like to invoke the constructor via a pointer as well:
NewAnimalFunction pNew = &Dog::Dog;
Animal* pAnimal = (*pNew)();
Is this possible, and if so, what is the preferred way to do this?
Read this for detail :
// 1 define a function pointer and initialize to NULL
int (TMyClass::*pt2ConstMember)(float, char, char) const = NULL;
// C++
class TMyClass
{
public:
int DoIt(float a, char b, char c){ cout << "TMyClass::DoIt"<< endl; return a+b+c;};
int DoMore(float a, char b, char c) const
{ cout << "TMyClass::DoMore" << endl; return a-b+c; };
/* more of TMyClass */
};
pt2ConstMember = &TMyClass::DoIt; // note: <pt2Member> may also legally point to &DoMore
// Calling Function using Function Pointer
(*this.*pt2ConstMember)(12, 'a', 'b');
