Question

I have a situation where a function can only take “int” (can’t change this) and I need it in a different situation. let me directly write the code

bool foo(int dev) 
{
         ...
         ...
      return true/false;
}

I need to pass :

1. mClassPointer->dev()
2. mClassPointer[index]->dev()
3. dev() //(function)
4. and obviously dev //(variable)

mClassPointer is pointer to class.
dev() is a member function of a class , return an Integer.

Answer 1

If you have a function that needs to handle different datatypes in different situations (as is vaguely implied in your question), then perhaps you need to look into templates.
