A function pointer problem...
-
A function member of a class doesn't have the same prototype as a global function: there is the 'this' paramter that is passed as an implicit argument of the function (but it is transparent to the user). To avoid that, you can declare your member function as static. A static function is shared aming all instances of your class and thus doesn't require the implicit 'this' parameter. But of course, within a static function, you can only access static member of your class (because the function does not belong to a specific instance of the class).
Good. Well said. Thanks a lot.:-D

Hi, You can alsoo change
AFunctiontovoid AFunction(void(CAClass::*pFunction)())
{
//i am still innocent
}this way you can pass a pointer to a member function. This said you will need to have an object of the type CAClass available to execute the function. codito ergo sum

Hmm...Cool:cool::rose: Nice one.

Yeah it works with static, but why not with member functions. Sounds silly but still would like to know. Since it is also a function. Edit:Thanks a lot prakash.

no its not silly, coz it has a good logic behind it, member function has a different "hidden" signature than other functions.

no you are wrong. mangling is nothing to do with it. mangaling is more relevant for compilers and linkers. The hidden param is the
thisparam passed to the member functions.

within a static function, you can only access static member of your class (because the function does not belong to a specific instance of the class). Unless you also pass a pointer to the object into the functiona as an additional argument, then you can access public members and functions of the class using the pointer to the class. Marriage slows down your coding, a baby slows it down even more!
