C++/C function pointers that return void*

Question

I\'m trying to call a function that takes an argument, void(*)(void*, int, const char*), but I cannot figure out how to pass those arguments to the function.

Answer 1

Unless I totally misinterpret your code, you are trying to pass a function pointer with an argument by doing

function(20, 20, ptr(20));

That is incorrect and illegal. In order to pass a function as a parameter into another function you have to follow the following syntax

function(20, 20, &ptr); 

or

function(20, 20, ptr); 

Even though I would recomment leaving the '&' for readability
