Here are three ways to call a C++ classes’ operator () using a pointer:
Say you have a C++ class name MyClass that overloads the operator “()”, something along the lines:
01 02 03 04 05 | Class MyClass{ ... public : void operator()( int a, double b); } |
01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 | MyClass* theClass = new MyClass; // method 1: use a reference MyClass& classRef = *theClass; classRef(a, b); // method 2: dereference in place (*theClass)(a,b); // method 3: dereference the ugly way: theClass->operator()(a,b); |
I use method 2.
