Hi people. :)
I'm making a function callback system for a console, so I would dynamically be able to send a function pointer to my console class, and then it would be callable from the console.
Well, it works - but only with functions that are not member of a class.
I looked further into member function pointers, and I can't seem to figure a way to dynamically using them.
By dynamically, I mean any class. It seems to me, that I have to know the class name to make a typedef for the pointer.
And I wouldn't like to ruin my ability to have regular (non-member) function pointers too.
My typedef looks like this, now:
typedef void (*ConsoleFunction)(const std::string &);And my function to add a pointer to the console is:
void Console::addItem(const std::string &name, void *point)
{
ConsoleItem i;
i.name = name;
i.function = (ConsoleFunction) point;
itemList.push_back(i);
}The itemList is a simple STL list of ConsoleItem, and ConsoleItem is a struct containing name, pointer and a few other irrelevant variables.
So I'm wondering, how would I implement, so that I can use member functions with addItem aswell?
The classes will mostly be instanced, I don't know if it matters if its static or not, but if it matters, then the instanced class member pointers is the most important.
Hope to hear some advice (:
Thank you! :D
