Determining to which function a pointer is pointing in C?

Question

I have a pointer to function, assume any signature. And I have 5 different functions with same signature.

At run time one of them gets assigned to the pointer, and that

You will have to check which of your 5 functions your pointer points to:

if (func_ptr == my_function1) {
    puts("func_ptr points to my_function1");
} else if (func_ptr == my_function2) {
    puts("func_ptr points to my_function2");
} else if (func_ptr == my_function3) {
    puts("func_ptr points to my_function3");
} ... 

If this is a common pattern you need, then use a table of structs instead of a function pointer:

typedef void (*my_func)(int);

struct Function {
    my_func func;
    const char *func_name;
};

#define FUNC_ENTRY(function) {function, #function}

const Function func_table[] = {
    FUNC_ENTRY(function1),
    FUNC_ENTRY(function2),
    FUNC_ENTRY(function3),
    FUNC_ENTRY(function4),
    FUNC_ENTRY(function5)
}

struct Function *func = &func_table[3]; //instead of func_ptr = function4;

printf("Calling function %s\n", func->func_name);
func ->func(44); //instead of func_ptr(44);
