Executing a function stored as a variable
May 03, 2003 08:14 PM
I''m making a scripting language that is somewhat similar to Lua, and I''m trying to figure out how to register and execute functions, like Lua does. In Lua, when you want a script to be able to recognize a function that is defined in your program you call lua_register() and it places the function you pass into a variable. I''ve figured out how to do that, my question is, how do I call that function? Below is a (very) simplified representation of how I am implementing all this.
All this compiles, but when I run it it commits and Illegal Op.
Why, and how can I fix it?

When you pass TheRealFunc to RegesterFunc, you want to pass it as a pointer, not the return value of the function. You need to change it to RegisterFunc(TheRealFunc); instead of registerFunc(TheRealFunc());.
ex:
int Function() { return 100; }
int a = Function(); //a = 100;
CFunction b = Function; //CFunction now points to Function();
void PassFunc(CFunction func) { }
PassFunc(Function()); //attemps to pass 100 as a CFunction (error)
PassFunc(Function); //passes a pointer to Function as a CFunction (works)
