Calling a C++ function using function pointer

Mizan Rahman asked:

Open original thread
hi,

I have a function that receive a function pointer and an XML string which has the defination of the function and the argument per say:

void CallFunction( void * pFuncion, std::string xmlFuncionDef)
{

}

Inside the above function, xmlFunctionDef contains the defination of the function pointed by pFunction. For example, number paramter, type of each parameter, and the arguments:
XML
<Function ParamCount="3" ReturnType="int">
  <Params>
    <Param type="int" DefaultValue="None" PassBy="Value"/>
    <Param type="double" DefaultValue="None" PassBy="Referenc"/>
    <Param type="char*" DefaultValue="None" PassBy="Pointer"/>
  </Params>

  <Arguments>
   <Arg Value="3" />
   <Arg Value="29.5" />
   <Arg Value="Hello World" />
  </Arguments>
</Function>


Now how can I call this function? Should I use _asm for this? Any help would be highly appriciative.

  1. Read the question carefully.
  2. Understand that English isn't everyone's first language so be lenient of bad spelling and grammar.
  3. If a question is poorly phrased then either ask for clarification, ignore it, or edit the question and fix the problem. Insults are not welcome.
  4. Don't tell someone to read the manual. Chances are they have and don't get it. Provide an answer or move on to the next question.
