Function Returning Itself

No, you cannot declare recursive function types in C. Except inside a structure (or an union), it’s not possible to declare a recursive type in C. Now for the void * solution, void * is only guaranteed to hold pointers to objects and not pointers to functions. Being able to convert function pointers and void … Read more

Function pointer vs Function reference

Functions and function references (i.e. id-expressions of those types) decay into function pointers almost immediately, so the expressions func and f_ref actually become function pointers in your case. You can also call (***func)(5) and (******f_ref)(6) if you like. It may be preferable to use function references in cases where you want the &-operator to work … Read more

Python: Passing a class name as a parameter to a function?

Using void (*)() pointers for other functions

In this particular case, the calls are legal. Section 6.7.6.3p15 of the C standard spells out what makes two function type compatible (relevant part in bold): For two function types to be compatible, both shall specify compatible return types. Moreover, the parameter type lists, if both are present, shall agree in the number of parameters … Read more

Import C++ function into Python program

Although the thread is old, I think it is helpful to have a simple all-embracing guide for beginners, because I also had some problems before. function.cpp content (extern “C” used so that ctypes module can handle the function): extern “C” int square(int x) { … Read more

How to structure javascript callback so that function scope is maintained properly

With the code you have provided test will still be in scope inside the callback. xhr will not be, other than xhr.responseText being passed in as data. Updated from comment: Assuming your code looks something like this: for (var test in testers) getFileContents(“hello”+test+”.js”, function(data) { alert(test); }); } As this script runs, test will be … Read more

powershell: how to write-host value from [ref] variable

You would have probably tried: write-host “the new value is $obj1.value” and got corresponding output of the new value is System.Management.Automation.PSReference.value I think you did not notice the .value in the end of the output. In strings you have to do something like this while accessing properties: write-host “the new value is $($obj1.value)” Or use … Read more
