Returning a pointer to a nonstatic member function?

I have this code:

typedef BraidedNode* (BraidedNode::* NodeGet)() const;

NodeGet test()
{
return BraidedNode::ge tNextID;
}

This code compiles under MSVC 7.1, but g++ (GCC 3.4.4) will not compile
it. Maybe I'm missing a subtle portion of the standard.... I know
that the above is at least partially correct (MSVC compiles it). Does
anyone know what I need to do to get this to compile?

info:
BraidedNode is a class
getNextID is a non-static member function of BraidedNode
BraidedNode::ge tNextID matches the NodeGet typedef

Anyone have an insights?

Sorry, forgot to mention, this is the error message:
Call.cpp: In function `BraidedNode*(B raidedNode::* test())() const':
Call.cpp:7: error: invalid use of non-static member function
`BraidedNode* BraidedNode::ge tNextID() const'
Call.cpp:7: error: invalid use of non-static member function

to get a pointer to a member function you have to prepend the function
with the address-of (&) operator. only global functions are implicitely
converted to pointers.

try:

NodeGet test()
{
return &BraidedNode::g etNextID;
}

That fixed it, thank you.

I have two questions which are very similar: Is it possible to return an object in C++. Below is part of my code for reference however I am more concerned about the concept. It seems like the function below is returning a pointer to pointers who are GUID. I am trying to write a wrapper to use in my VB code and what I would prefer to do is be able to return an array of GUID. I remember (not sure) that the concept of arrays does not really...

I have a very specific question about a language issue that I was hoping to get an answer to. If you allocate a structure that contains an array as a local variable inside a function and return that structure, is this valid? As shown in the code below I am allocating the structure in the function and then returning the structure. I know if the structure contained only simple types (int, float) this will work without problems as you...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not.
