problem with std::map and VC

[Serengeti]

Hello,
in my class I have a map that translates strings to pointers to some
member functions. The code goes like this:

class F {
typedef void (Function::*MathFuncPtr)();
std::map<std::string, MathFuncPtr> predefinedFunctions;
// lots of other stuff
void makeDictionary(){ predefinedFunctions["sin"]=&F::f_sin(); }
};

Code like this works all right in gcc, but causes a strange compile
time error[*] in VC (from MSVC++ 2005 express beta).
I'd be happy to know if it's my or VC's fault :)

TIA,
Slawek

.. notice that (a) there are no parentheses and (b) the class name is not
'F', but 'Function'.

well I've basically messed things up when preparing a code example for
the posting :) My real code looks exactly like your suggestion:

class Function {
typedef void (Function::*MathFuncPtr)();
std::map<std::string, MathFuncPtr> predefinedFunctions;
// lots of other stuff
void makeDictionary(){ predefinedFunctions["sin"]=&Function::f_sin; }
};

So I guess the problem is somewhere else.

thanks for answering,
