I'm trying to make a class that can hold and later call functions. It stores the functions in a map along with a string that holds the name of the function.
I tried doing this on Linux with GCC and got the following error: "invalid conversion from void(*)() to void *"
on the line functionsMap[nameOfFunction] = func;
Here's the entire program I have so far. It's not done yet, but I'm really curious as to why this would compile under Visual C++ and not GCC. If I'm doing something wrong or could be doing something better, please let me know. Thanks!
#include <iostream>
#include <map>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
class Dyn_Class{
private:
map<string, void *> functionsMap;
public:
Dyn_Class(){}
template<typename ReturnValue>
void add_func( string nameOfFunction, ReturnValue(*func)() ){
functionsMap[nameOfFunction] = func;
}
void remove_func( string nameOfFunction ){
}
Dyn_Class operator()(string nameOfFunction){
}
};
void print(void){
for(int index = 0; index < 9; index++){
cout << index << " ";
}
cout << endl;
}
int main(){
Dyn_Class functionsList;
functionsList.add_func("print", print);
return 0;
}
