Thread: how to use a member function inside a function pointer?

hiya,

this function poitner is located on another class

class b {
void Push(void (*State)());
};

so,

class a {
b;
void functiontopush();
void somefunction();
}

void a::somefunction()
{
b.push(functiontopush) // error,
}

cannot convert parameter 1 from 'void (void)' to 'void (__cdecl *)(void)'

thanks!

First of all your code doesnt compile at all, and it has nothing to do with the fact that you are trying to make a function pointer of a class member function. Secondly, I would guess that there is some easier and more appropriate way to do what you are trying to do, especially given your level of coding. Thirdly, the main problem with passing a member function pointer is that you need an instance of the object to call the function, which you are not providing. The compiler is complaining because (if you are using microsoft at least) the calling convention is __thiscall for classes, and the argument to the function is a __cdecl calling convention prototype. If you really want to pass a class member function, there is some thread a few days or a week back that I answered about how to do it, but it involves a lot of templates, function objects, and generally very ugly code. I think it had something about string::find_last_of or string::find_first_of in the title.

ehm, i have a stack class that stores functions. This stack class i shall place on my main class which where my program runs.

ie,
class CStack
{
...
}

Class MainProgram
{
CStack m_stackState;
ProgramState1();
}

I'm trying to follow how people progarm in java, they have everything inside a main class etc., now i just want to push the ProgramState1() inside my stack class, plz help, you said something different ways? could you advice me more?

many thanks, searching for your thread btw..,

StonedCoder: hiya, i tried all those it won't compile,

hiya, oke i made my function a static now it works without casting or additional changing on the code but static?? i don't want it static or else i have to make my member variables static as well right? help? again, ifyousayso, plz advice me on a better alternative, thanks!

hiya, anyone? i can't find the solution or is it even possible? someone says that it's only the compiler's extension and other stuffs like address won't be known etc.,

so am i stuck with just making it static? thanks!
