C++ inheritance and member function pointers

Question

In C++, can member function pointers be used to point to derived (or even base) class members?

EDIT: Perhaps an example will help. Suppose we have a hierarchy of t

Answer 1

Here is an example of what works. You can override a method in derived class, and another method of base class that uses pointer to this overridden method indeed calls the derived class's method.

#include 
#include 

using namespace std;

class A {
public:
    virtual void traverse(string arg) {
        find(&A::visit, arg);
    }

protected:
    virtual void find(void (A::*method)(string arg),  string arg) {
        (this->*method)(arg);
    }

    virtual void visit(string arg) {
        cout << "A::visit, arg:" << arg << endl;
    }
};

class B : public A {
protected:
    virtual void visit(string arg) {
        cout << "B::visit, arg:" << arg << endl;
    }
};

int main()
{
    A a;
    B b;
    a.traverse("one");
    b.traverse("two");
    return 0;
}
