Answer 1

You are looking at several options.

1. function pointers, the C style way
2. std::function which is part of C++ TR1 and C++11
3. use functors and std::ptr_fun to adapt your function

The syntax you are showing is only going to work with C++11. Earlier C++ versions don't offer the possibility to define an anonymous function.
