Function pointers can be used to call functions in C. but for C++ member functions. A special function pointer needs to be used, i.e. float (SomeClass::*my_memfunc_ptr)(int, char *); but eventually, my_memfunc_ptr will hold the address of the code of the function it points to. can i set up the calling context myself at this point, i.e. put "this" pointer into rdi, put the arguments into other registers/stacks and jump to the address held in the my_memfunc_ptr. would this work in gcc compiled code , what about other compilers and os linkages ? Thanks Xin
