Pairing Woes...

Hey all,

I've been writing a nice & simple scripting system, and so far have been doing pretty well, except for the multitude of complilation errors (just simple mistakes ;))..

My main issue is that I'm using std::map as a table of commands, with a key, and a function pointer to process the command.
The problem comes with using insert() to add a new element, in particular, the make_pair function.

Here's the code:

Code:

---

void Machine::Command(std::string key, bool *FuncReference(std::string, Stack))
{
    _commands.insert( make_pair(key, FuncReference));
}

---

And the error:

Code:

---

C:\MinGW\bin\..\lib\gcc\mingw32\3.4.5\..\..\..\..\include\c++\3.4.5\bits\stl_pair.h:74: error: field `std::pair<const std::string, bool*()(std::string, Stack)>::second' invalidly declared function type

---

I'm really quite stuck with this. Maybe because I haven't slept in 4 days, but hey...

I'll keep screwing around with this thing, right after I get some sleeeep.. Help is still appreciated though.

Cheers

Code:

---

bool (*FuncReference)(std::string, Stack)

---

Function pointers.

Ergh, Sorry... That Copy & Paste was from an older file saved on my Harddrive. Turns out I am using the syntax you suggested above, queerest thing is, I still get the error....

Can you post the simplest, smallest complete example that demonstrates the problem?
