how call a method through an function pointer?

[dennis luehring]

i try to "publish" some of my very stupid methods (i need this for an interpreter)

function_one
procedure_one

here is the code

---------
class core
{
public:
int result;
int parameter[2];

typedef void(core::*call)();
typedef struct method_t
{
bool function; // additional information
call method; // the call
};

method_t methods[2];

core()
{
methods[0].function = true;
methods[0].method = function_one;

methods[1].function = false;
methods[1].method = procedure_one;
}

// callable methods
void function_one(){ result = parameter[0] + parameter[1]; }
void procedure_one(){ parameter[0] = 10; }
};

void main()
{
core c;

// why can't i call the method...
//c.methods[0].method();
// can't compile this - error
// error C2064: term does not evaluate to a function taking 0 arguments

// ...should be the same as
c.function_one();
}

Pointers to member functions are in the FAQ, but I can't help but think
that there must be a better way... Maybe polymorphism? What are you
trying to achieve?
