Thread: Function Pointers

Is there a way I could store a class function in a variable and have a particular class instance call the function (in effect, the variable would simply tell the class which of "its own" functions to call):

Code:

class SomeClass;

typedef int (SomeClass::*SOMECLASSFUNC)();

class SomeClass {
   public:
      int Initialize();
};


...


SomeClass *classInstance;
SOMECLASSFUNC scf;

classInstance = new SomeClass;
scf = &SomeClass::Initialize();

classInstance->scf();   // looking for a piece of code that's equivalent to this in theory
                        // compiler, of course, returns an error because there's no
                        // such SomeClass::scf() function.

Thanks in advance.

Got it, just needed a dereference operator and some parentheses:

Code:

(classInstance->*scf)();
