Thread: Structure holds functions

hi

i am new to c programming , as i learn structure can hold
only variable, other structure ; but it is possible if i put function pointer inside structure then call it.. like bellow....

Code:

void testfunc()
{
      
}

struct test
{
       void (*testfunc)();

};

struct test *t1;

t1->testfunc();  // this is how i want to call

is it possible with c compiler?

thanks
atik

It's possible. Here's an example.

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

void bar() {
  printf( "hello world!\n" ); 
}

typedef struct Foo {
  void (*func) ();
} Foo ;

int main()
{
  Foo foo ;
  foo.func = bar ;
  foo.func() ;
  getchar();	
  return 0;
}
