I'm storing a map in a class that has strings as keys and pointers to member functions as values. I'm having trouble calling the right function throw the function pointer. Here is the code:
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <map>
using namespace std;
class Preprocessor;
typedef void (Preprocessor::*function)();
class Preprocessor
{
public:
Preprocessor();
~Preprocessor();
void processing(const string before_processing);
private:
void take_new_key();
map<string, function> srch_keys;
string after_processing;
};
Preprocessor::Preprocessor()
{
srch_keys.insert(pair<string, function>(string("#define"), &Preprocessor::take_new_key));
}
Preprocessor::~Preprocessor()
{
}
void Preprocessor::processing(const string before_processing)
{
map<string, function>::iterator result = srch_keys.find("#define");
if(result != srch_keys.end())
result->second;
}
void Preprocessor::take_new_key()
{
cout << "enters here";
}
int main()
{
Preprocessor pre;
pre.processing(string("...word #define other word"));
return 0;
}
In function Preprocessor::processing
if the string is found in the map then, I call the proper function. The problem is that, in this code, Preprocessor::take_new_key
is never called.
Where is the mistake ?
Thanks
