Thread: Is it possible to copy function to a const function pointer by memcpy?

&function_pointer is not the same as the content of function_pointer.

memcpy() should complain that you are trying to modify a const variable, really, so it should not allow you to do what you want to do. The variable is either const, or it isn't! If you modify it, then it should not be const.

it is not const pointer - it is pointer to const - should be no problem to modify it

Code:

#include <stdio.h>

void function(void)
{
	printf("Called\n");
}

const void (*function_pointer)(void)=NULL;

int main()
{
	function_pointer = &function;
	function_pointer();
	return 0;
}
