    Implement a Callback to a static C++ Member Function ?

    Hi everyone, it's hard days to understand deeper about function pointer, now i get trouble with that, i need your help, and i very pleasure to know what's wrong i've made. thanks a lot.

    Code:
    #include <iostream>
    using namespace std;
    class one {
    public:
        static void show() { cout << "Hi" << endl; }
    };
    int main() {
        static void (one::*f)();
        f = &one::show;
        one oo;
        (oo.*f)();
        return 0;
    }
    //output:
    //1.cc: In function ‘int main()’:
    //1.cc:9: error: cannot convert ‘void (*)()’ to ‘void (one::*)()’ in assignment

    when you declare f, it should just be:

    Code:
    void (*f)();

    What you have created is a pointer to a non-static member function. Just FYI.
    Oh, and, to add to Elkvis: when you want to call the function, you just do f(), not (oo.*f)(). This is a static member, after all, so it does not "belong" to any instance.
