I would like to implement an std::map with <std::string, std::function> pairs. The function pointers are pointers to methods of the class. I am thinking of ignoring a switch or an equivalent so trying this. But I am able to use only static member functions. Compiler is throwing error C3867: 'A::m2': non-standard syntax; use '&' to create a pointer to member for non static member function. Any better approach or idea to implement my approach?
#include <iostream>
#include <unordered_map>
#include <string>
#include <functional>
class A
{
public:
static void m1() { std::cout << "Method1\n"; };
void m2() { std::cout << "Method2\n"; };
};
int main(int argc, char const* argv[])
{
if (argc > 1)
{
A a;
std::unordered_map<std::string, std::function<void()>> methodMap =
{
{"f1", a.m1},
{"f2", a.m2}
};
auto it = methodMap.find(argv[1]);
if (it != methodMap.end())
it->second();
}
}
