Function pointer comparison. Bug in v4.071?
PostPosted: Fri Jun 27, 2008 12:01 am     Reply with quote

Colleagues,

It’s great that v4 supports function pointers. However, it doesn’t seem to support the function pointer comparison at the moment.

Code:

typedef int8 (*fp)(int8, int8); // typedef for our function pointer

int8 do_it(int8 ix, int8 iy)
{
   return (ix + iy);
}

// more functions that fit the fp typedef

void main()
{
// . . .
   fpFoo = &do_it;   // initialize the function pointer.
   // . . .
   if (fpFoo == &do_it)   // during compilation, this line generates ERROR 48: Expecting a (
   {
      // . . .
   }
// . . .
}



- Nick

The function name itself, _is_ the function's address. You don't need the '&' when referring to it.
Use a cast for comparisons. Given that fpFoo, is the address of a function, it expects to receive two variables. So:
Code:

typedef int8 (*fp)(int8, int8); // typedef for our function pointer

int8 do_it(int8 ix, int8 iy)
{
   return (ix + iy);
}

// more functions that fit the fp typedef

void main()
{
// . . .
   fp fpFoo;
   fpFoo = do_it;   // initialize the function pointer.
   // . . .
   if ((int16)fpFoo == (int16)do_it)   
   {
      // . . .
   }
// . . .
}


Best Wishes
