I have found information on calling C++ member function pointers and calling pointers in structs, but I need to call a member function pointer that exists inside of a structure, and I have not been able to get the syntax correct. I have the following snippet inside a method in class MyClass:
void MyClass::run() {
struct {
int (MyClass::*command)(int a, int b);
int id;
} functionMap[] = {
{&MyClass::commandRead, 1},
{&MyClass::commandWrite, 2},
};
(functionMap[0].MyClass::*command)(x, y);
}
int MyClass::commandRead(int a, int b) {
...
}
int MyClass::commandWrite(int a, int b) {
...
}
This gives me:
error: expected unqualified-id before '*' token
error: 'command' was not declared in this scope
(referring to the line '(functionMap[0].MyClass::*command)(x, y);')
Moving those parenthesis around results in syntax errors recommending using .* or ->* neither of which work in this situation. Does anyone know the proper syntax?
Use:
(this->*functionMap[0].command)(x, y);
Tested and compiles ;)
