Now, you are amazed and you may ask: what is reference to function? A reference to function is a function alias which repersent the function. Follow is a demo of reference to function.
template <class T1, class T2, class T3> T1 sum(T2 p1, T3 p2) ...{ cout <<"three parameters"<< endl; return p1 + p2; } int main() ...{ int (&pr)(char,int) = sum<int>; // fp is reference to function cout << typeid(pr).name() << endl; // print: "int __cdecl(char,int)" in VS2008 }
Ok!It is the time to see pointer to function and code is the best word in our world.
template <class T1, class T2, class T3> T1 sum(T2 p1, T3 p2) ...{ cout <<"three parameters"<< endl; return p1 + p2; } int main() ...{ int (*fp)(char,int) =&sum<int>; // fp is reference to function cout << typeid(fp).name() << endl; // print: "int (__cdecl*)(char,int)" in VS2008 }
