In C++ You Can Have a Pointer to a Function, Can you also have a pointer to a class?

Question

I'm not talking about a pointer to an instance, I want a pointer to a class itself.

Answer 1

In C++, classes are not "first class objects". The closest you can get is a pointer to its type_info instance.

Answer 2

No. A pointer is the address of something in the memory of the computer at run-time. A class is just a set of instructions to the compiler.
