Is it possible to use signal inside a C++ class?

Question

I am doing something like this:

#include 

class myClass {
public: 
    void myFunction () 
    {
        signal(SIGIO,myHandler);
    }

            


        

Answer 1

To pass a pointer to a method, it must be a static method and you must specify the class name.

Try this:

class myClass {
  void myFunction () 
  {
    signal(SIGIO, myClass::myHandler);
  }

  static void myHandler (int signum)
  {
     // blabla
  }
};

And you should also read the link supplied by Baget, the paragraph 33.2 in the C++ FAQ.
