Calling function by sending char text of function name.

[Gyiove]

Hello!

Is this possible?

int myfunc( int a, int b, char * c )

char a = "(int)myfunc()";
char b = "(int,int,char*)"
call(a, b, ...) // Function name and return type, params 

I want to do function what registers forward what will get callback if the time is right.
Basically then i dont need to edit and add extra functions into source files.
I just have to include header and use register forward function.
If there is anything close to this it would be perfect!
Thanks!

how about a function pointer ?

Can you give me example?

[nvrmnd]

#include <iostream>

// here, the function print takes a function as the second
// argument and calls it

// how is a pointer to a function taking a std::size_t(unsigned
// argument and returns nothing
void print( std::size_t times, void (*how)(std::size_t) )
{
    how( times ); // dereference through '( )'
}

void f( std::size_t N )
{
    for( std::size_t i = 0; i < N; ++i ) {
        std::cout << "Hello World\n";
    }
}

void g( std::size_t N )
{
    for( std::size_t i = 0; i < N; ++i ) {
        std::cout << "Hello ";
    }
}

int main() 
{
    print( 3, &f ); // '&' (address of) is optional
    print( 3, g );
}

Hello World
Hello World
Hello World
Hello Hello Hello

More advance code involve templates or std::function but i'm going to bed now, maybe someone else could explain what is more appropriate for your problem

Anyway, is there possible to name function name with the function.
So basically if i read name from .txt i can call that function somehow?

That's because the forum software appends the full-stop (.) to the URL. Remove the trailing full-stop, and it should work.

If you want to post URL's and be grammatically correct, you need to leave whitespace between the URL and the full-stop - i.e. http://www.cprogramming.com/tutorial/function-pointers .

EDIT: and after all that, the URL was wrong anyway. It's http://www.cprogramming.com/tutorial/function-pointers.html .
