问题
I am presently in a case where I need to call a lot of function pointers that has been extracted at runtime. The problem is that the arguments are unknown at compilation time.
But, at runtime I receive datas that allows me to know the arguments of the function and I can even store the arguments in a char* array. The problem is that I don't have a function pointer model to cast it into.
In high level language, I know there is function like "InvokeMethode(String name,Byte[] args)" that interpret the bytes array like arguments. Since reflection does not exist in C, I have no hope to see this with a function pointer.
One solution that I have in mind (and it's really bad), is to create a model of function pointer at compilation time that will cast in a "hardcoded way" the ptr to the right type to use like this:
void callFunc64Bits(void* funcPtr,long long args);
void callFuncVoid(void* funcPtr);
The problem is that I will have to create like 100 function like this that will cast the pointer correctly.
Is there a way to do it more efficiently?
Thank you very much!

This is a hard problem without, unfortunately, good or easy answers.
