I'm trying to get a pointer to a specific version of an overloaded member function. Here's the example:
class C
{
bool f(int) { ... }
bool f(double) { ... }
bool example()
{
// I want to get the "double" version.
typedef bool (C::*MemberFunctionType)(double);
MemberFunctionType pointer = &C::f; // <- Visual C++ complains
}
};
The error message is "error C2440: 'initializing' : cannot convert from 'overloaded-function' to 'MemberFunctionType'"
This works if f
is not overloaded, but not in the example above. Any suggestion?
EDIT
Beware, the code above did not reflect my real-world problem, which was that I had forgotten a "const" - this is what the accepted answer points out. I'll leave the question as it is, though, because I think the problem could happen to others.
