Question

 
io_iterator_t enumerator;
kern_return_t   result;
result = IOServiceAddMatchingNotification(
             mNotifyPort,
             kIOMatchedNotification,
             IOServiceMatching( "IOFireWireLocalNode" ),
             serviceMatchingCallback, 
             (void *)0x1234,
             & enumerator );

serviceMatchingCallback((void *)0x1234, enumerator);

if i declare serviceMatchinCallback as static then it works, but i do not want it to be static. Is there a way to pass it a non-static callback function?

Thank you

You could keep it static, but use the userdata to store the this pointer in addition to whatever other userdata you want (by packing them into a structure, for example) and then call an object-specific callback from the static version by calling this->someCallback (where this is the pointer stored in the userdata, of course).
