I have a base class and a few derivative. I have to 'register' some static function from each of them. Here is the example:
class Base
{
// Some interface...
};
class Der1 : Base
{
static void Do();
};
class Der2 : Base
{
static void Do();
};
void processStatic()
{
SomeFunc(Der1::Do);
SomeFunc(Der2::Do);
}
As you see, SomeFunc receives function pointer. I want to do that automatically with each new derivative class, is it possible? Maybe, predefine static function in Base class and register it there. But I think it's impossible, yes?
Maybe, this will be more easier to understand what do I want:
class Der1 : Base
{
Der1() { SomeFunc(Der1::Do); }
static void Do();
};
class Der2 : Base
{
Der2() { SomeFunc(Der2::Do); }
static void Do();
};
EDIT: Completely replacing previous answer due to clarified requirements.
You could use the CRTP to declare a specialized base class that does nothing more than call your registration function:
#include <iostream>
void SomeFunc(void(*fp)()) {
(*fp)();
};
template <class D>
struct ExtraBass {
ExtraBass() {
static bool once;
if(!once)
SomeFunc(D::Do);
once = true;
}
};
struct Bass {
};
struct Drive : Bass, ExtraBass<Drive> {
static void Do() { std::cout << "Drive::Do\n"; }
};
struct Deride : Bass , ExtraBass<Deride> {
static void Do() { std::cout << "Deride::Do\n"; }
};
int main() {
Drive d1;
Deride d2;
Deride d3;
}
