Members which are pointers to C functions

[vichor]

Hi,

I'm defining a DLL interface and have thought to define a class encapsulating the access to a certain DLLs.

This class will load the DLL and access several functions inside it. As all DLL will have the same set of functions, this should be quite straightforward.

All I need is to define a member inside the DLL wrapper class to be a pointer to the DLL function I want to execute. So I do:

class CMyDLLWrapper
{
private:
   /* blah, blah, blah */

   typedef bool (__cdecl *tInitFunctionP)(void);

   /* blah, blah, blah */

   tInitFunctionP MyInitFunction;

public:
   bool init(void) { return MyInitFunction(); }

};

Well, this does not compile:

error C3646: 'tInitFunctionP' : unknown override specifier
error C3646: 'InitDLL' : unknown override specifier

I have used successfully this syntax in the main function, but when I port it inside the class I get those errors.

Any ideas?

thx

It seems this error depends on the line that comes before the reported one. Check your semicolons, or post the omitted sections.

I was about to write here that a semicolon was missing in the previous line... so your guess was right! Thanks!

I'm not a Windows guru but I am guessing that you may have that __cdecl in the wrong place?

typedef bool (__cdecl *tInitFunctionP)(void);
