Is it possible to call a method in an object by passing a string, like is done with ExecuteString in scripthelper.cpp?

I check the code and from what I can see it is not possible to extend to include object methods as that requires knowledge of the actual object pointer (which CompileFunction does not).


So is this possible in some other way? And if so, how do I go about?


Reason for wanting this, is because it is a more secure way for script to call methods in other modules.

While CompileFunction doesn't allow you to compile a class method you could quite easily write an automatic wrapper that takes the object pointer as one of the parameters, and then call the method. For example:



int CallObjectMethod(asIScriptObject *obj, const string &method)
{
string wrap = "void WrapCall(" + obj->GetObjectType()->GetName() + "@ obj) { obj." + method + "(); }";

asIScriptFunction *func = 0;
int r = execMod->CompileFunction("ExecuteString", wrap.c_str(), -1, 0, &func);
if( r < 0 )
return r;

asIScriptContext *execCtx = engine->CreateContext();
r = execCtx->Prepare(func->GetId());

if( r < 0 )
{
func->Release();

if( !ctx ) execCtx->Release();

return r;
}

execCtx->SetArgObject(0, obj);

// Execute the function
r = execCtx->Execute();

// Clean up
func->Release();
execCtx->Release();
}
