Head First C 读书笔记（二）

函数指针：

type (*name)(parameter types) 

调用： name(parameter)

函数指针数组：

type (*name[])(parameter types) = { };

使用函数指针数组简化程序——分手信自动生成器：

#include <stdio.h>

enum response_type {DUMP, SECOND_CHANCE, MARRIAGE};

typedef struct {
	char *name;
	enum response_type type;
}response;

void dump (response r)
{
	printf("Dear %s, \n", r.name);
	puts("Unfortunately your last date contacted us to...");
}

void second_chance(response r)
{
	printf("Dear %s, \n", r.name);
	puts("Good news: your last date has asked us to...");
}

void marriage(response r)
{
	printf("Dear %s, \n", r.name);
	puts("Congratulations! Your last date has contacted...");
}

// function pointer array
void (*replies[])(response) = {dump, second_chance, marriage};

int main() {
	response r[] = {
			{"Mike", DUMP}, {"Luis", SECOND_CHANCE},
			{"Matt", SECOND_CHANCE}, {"William", MARRIAGE}
	};

	int i;
	for(i=0; i<4; i++)
		(replies[r[i].type])(r[i]); 
}

程序中本来需要使用 switch 语句对枚举类型进行判断后才能调用函数，但是这里用函数指针数组不需要判断，直接调用了对应的函数。
