Question

I have a class MyClass in which there is one function that returns a pointer to QString:

QString* MyClass::generateName()

In other function I want to make a functions pointers’ array with generateName() in it. When I write

QString* (*array[1])() = {&MyClass::generateName};

I am getting an error:

cannot convert ‘QString* (MyClass::*)()’ to ‘QString* (*)()’ in initialization

When I remove MyClass:: from the array definition, it only gives me another error about the ISO. Besides, the former error remains.

What am I supposed to do to get rid of the error?

First with function pointers you should use typedefs:

typedef QString* (MyClass::* funcType)();

Then, an array is easy to define:

funcType myArray[] = { &MyClass::generateName };
