[Implemented] Function pointers

[remi_meier]

I would like to see something like

Code: Select all

Declare.l test(a.l)
test() = IsFunction(0, "spk")
test(4)

and

CDeclare.l test(a.l)
test() = IsFunction(0, "spk")
test(4)

or

*test = IsFunction(0, "spk")
*test(4)

in PB.

CallFunctionFast has some disadvantages:
- needs some more time
- long name
- not as readable as my requests
- needs a wrapper function again for floats and better readability

True, this is will added in v4 (and CallFunction/CallFunctionFast will be probably removed).

REALLY good news !!

True, this is will added in v4 (and CallFunction/CallFunctionFast will be probably removed).

This is a contrived example, but i just want to check that it will still be possible (if CallFunctionFast gets removed):

Code: Select all

Procedure A()
Debug("A")
EndProcedure

Procedure B(p.l)
Debug("B" + Str(p))
EndProcedure

Dim addr(10)

For m = 0 To 10
If m < 5
addr(m) = @A()
Else
addr(m) = @B()
EndIf
Next

For m = 0 To 10
If m < 5
CallFunctionFast(addr(m))
Else
CallFunctionFast(addr(m), m)
EndIf
Next

So please reassure me

[Fred]

replace addr(m) with 'test' and it will work. It's just a pointer where you can put any value in..

Thanx a lot Fred!

Thanks Fred and thanks for your IRC explanation. All seems good!
