Thread: Problem with a function pointer syntax

Yeah, still wet behind the ears with C++. But the actual error persisted, it was because of the difference between:

Code:

a.*func(1,2);  // nope
(a.*func)(1,2); // okay

Now I think that's the answer, since you can call any suitable member of an instance of X through the pointer fptr.

How about getting that to work as a param to a method (2nd example post #7) which is what the OP wants? I'm starting to think it cannot be done (a method cannot accept a function pointer to another method of the same class).
