I have a static function:
void E::createEP(std::list<double>* ret, double length, double (*getHeight)(double)) {
// magic
double sampleIntervall = //from magic
double dist = 0;
while (length - dist > -0.1) {
ret->push_back(dist, (*getHeight)(dist));
dist += sampleIntervall;
}
}
In different calls I have two different functions to pass as getHeight():
E
as createEP()
(for "recreating" with different parameters), which needs to access Elements fields and can thus not be static, either.Is it somehow possible to pass non-static functions as parameters to a static function?
If not, what would be the most elegant alternative? I don't want to duplicate the entire code in createEP()
.
What you can use is a std::function
. It will wrap a callable type be that a function, member function, object with an overloaded function operator. You just need to supply the signature to use. So in you case you would have
void E::createEP(std::list<double>* ret, double length, std::function<double(double)> getHeight)
Then to bind the member function with the object you want to call it on you can use a lambda like
[&](double val){ return object.FunctionName(val); }
or std::bind
like
std::bind(&ClassName::FunctionName, &object)
