Does Microsoft Windows SDK support function as parameters?

[Emanuele Mentil]

Hi everyone,
I'm trying to compile a C++ function with Mex of Matlab working on windows. Matlab recognise Microsoft Windows SDK 7.1 as C/C++ compiler but gives me problem with a line of code of this form

type funct1( ... , type (*funct2)( type, type), ... )

In other words, I'm trying to pass a function as a variable to another function. Does someone know if Microsoft Windows SDK support function as parameters?
Thanks
Emanuele

After various test I can confirm that Win SDK support that notation.

what's the error message that you receive? Are you sure that you're passing the right kind of function as a parameter? the signature has to match (same type and number of parameters) what the declaration says.

for example:

void a(int) {  }
void b(int, int) {  }

void c(void (*func)(int)) {  }

you couldn't pass b to c as a parameter, because it doesn't match the signature of the parameter that c declares.

That's more of a C way of doing it IMO, why not utilize a functor? Or even a lambda? Sure, function pointers work in C++, but that doesn't necessarily mean they are the best option.
