Why doesn't C++ have a pointer to member function type?

Question

I could be totally wrong here, but as I understand it, C++ doesn\'t really have a native \"pointer to member function\" type. I know you can do tricks with Boost and mem_fu

Answer 1

It does.

For example,

int (Fred::*)(char,float)

is a pointer to a member function of a class Fred that returns an int and takes a char and a float.
