How do I create and use an array of pointer-to-member-function?

Pointers to member functions, C++ FAQ Lite
Note: #define macros are evil in 4 different ways: evil#1, evil#2, evil#3, and evil#4. But they're still useful sometimes. Feel ashamed, feel guilty, but when an evil construct like a macro improves your software, use it.

Then why are array and pointer declarations interchangeable as function formal parameters?

Infrequently Asked Questions in comp.lang.c
Classism. We consider arrays ''second class objects''. They don't vote, and they get treated as pointers. Additionally, they're merely objects, not citizens. Marx wrote about this a lot. [a]

Can I convert a pointer-to-member-function to a void*?

Pointers to member functions, C++ FAQ Lite
Please do not email me if the above seems to work on your particular version of your particular compiler on your particular operating system. I don't care. It's illegal, period.

What is the function of the array?

Alternative Med Concepts - Alternative Health Products
The array is the conductive transfer unit of the direct current into the water which generates the ionic field and hence transfers the energy into the body.

How can I avoid syntax errors when calling a member function using a pointer-to-member-function?

Pointers to member functions, C++ FAQ Lite
Normally I dislike #define macros, but you should use them with pointers to members because they improve the readability and writability of that sort of code.) I strongly recommend these features. In the real world, member function invocations are a lot more complex than the simple example just given, and the difference in readability and writability is significant. comp.lang.

What is the function of the plates on the array?

Frequently Asked Questions about the Q Machine
The function of the plates on the Array is to produce the complex field that interacts directly with the water, and through the water is translated to bio electric energy, that is then carried by the water to our bodies. The array plates are composed of copper and of a proprietary non-reactive alloy.

How do I declare a pointer to an array?

Arrays and Pointers
Usually, you don't want to. When people speak casually of a pointer to an array, they usually mean a pointer to its first element. Instead of a pointer to an array, consider using a pointer to one of the array's elements. Arrays of type T decay into pointers to type T (see question 6.3), which is convenient; subscripting or incrementing the resultant pointer will access the individual members of the array.

I'm still mystified. Is a pointer a kind of array, or is an array a kind of pointer?

Arrays and Pointers
An array is not a pointer, nor vice versa. An array reference (that is, any mention of an array in a value context), turns into a pointer (see questions 6.2 and 6.3). There's hardly such a thing as an array (it is, after all, a ''second-class citizen''); the subscripting operator [] is in fact a pointer operator. a higher level of abstraction, a pointer to a block of memory is effectively the same as an array (though this says nothing about other uses of pointers).

Why doesn't sizeof properly report the size of an array which is a parameter to a function?

Infrequently Asked Questions in comp.lang.c
Part of the ANSI conspiracy to restrict people to passing pointers; this was undertaken after the first discovery that passing large arrays recursively could cause crashes. Since then, with the passing of MS-DOS, it has become a non-issue; since all serious machines have virtual memory, you can pass as much data as you want on the stack without detectable problems. [a]

Can I use a pointer to class/struct Node as a data member in the above question?

FAQ on C/C++/Unix by Roseanne Zhang, Java Programmer Certifi...
It is the programmer's responsibility to make sure your recursion code have a exit point!!! See the following code (borrowed from above question), no compiling errors, no linking errors, but the program will never print out the "after". struct Node { int num; Node *next; Node() { next = new Node(); //Infinite recursion!!! } }; int main() { printf("before\n"); Node a; //run out of memory, soon be dead! printf("after\n"); }

Can I simulate a non-0-based array with a pointer?

Frequently Asked Questions: C Language (abridged)
My compiler complained when I passed a two-dimensional array to a function expecting a pointer to a pointer. The rule by which arrays decay into pointers is not applied recursively. An array of arrays (i.e. a two-dimensional array in C) decays into a pointer to an array, not a pointer to a pointer.

What function could you use to custom sort a numerically indexed array?

How can I create a dynamic two-dimensional array?

Frequently Asked Questions
Your hints about dynamic creation of arrays work fine for one-dimensional arrays. But I need a global matrix. There is no problem if the matrix is small. But, if I simply put int A[200][100] = {{}}; I will increase the size of my program by about 40K (200*100*sizeof(int)). This is really unacceptable. Obviously, I need to create a matrix dinamically. But I have no any idea how to do this. Very good question. Solving this problem requires good knowledge about how arrays and pointers are related.

How do I create an array of Java objects?

Tcl/Java Project
array object is created with the java::new command. To create an int[5] array with values 11 through 15, you would enter: set arrayObj [java::new {int[]} 5 {11 12 99 14 15}] $arrayObj set 2 13 Note that in the above example the array type is passed with brackets around it.
