C++: Pointer to monomorphic version of virtual member function?

Question

In C++, it\'s possible to get a pointer to a (non-static) member function of a class, and then later invoke it on an object. If the function was virtual, the call is dispatc

Answer 1

It's possible in GCC, but the way it's documented in C++ language extensions section suggests there's no portable way to do it.

You can do two things:

1. If you control the class, create a non-virtual function and a virtual wrapper for it and when you know you don't need virtual dispatch, just take address of the non-virtual one.
2. If you don't, create a template functor that will hold the member pointer and do the explicit scope call.
