setTimeout calls function immediately instead of after delay

A function object in JavaScript is one thing. A function call is a different thing. You’re using the latter, by including parentheses after the function name*, but you need the former, without parentheses. This allows setTimeout to later invoke the function itself by using the passed-in object. Assuming you do actually want 5 seconds (rather … Read more

“unpacking” a tuple to call a matching function pointer

You need to build a parameter pack of numbers and unpack them template<int …> struct seq { }; template<int N, int …S> struct gens : gens<N-1, N-1, S…> { }; template<int …S> struct gens<0, S…> { typedef seq<S…> type; }; // … void delayed_dispatch() { callFunc(typename gens<sizeof…(Args)>::type()); } template<int …S> void callFunc(seq<S…>) { func(std::get<S>(params) …); … Read more

How do function pointers in C work?

Function pointers in C Let’s start with a basic function which we will be pointing to: int addInt(int n, int m) { return n+m; } First thing, let’s define a pointer to a function which receives 2 ints and returns an int: int (*functionPtr)(int,int); Now we can safely point to our function: functionPtr = &addInt; … Read more

expected ‘void (**)(void *, const char *)’ but argument is of type ‘void (*)(void *, const char *)

It is pretty wonky, it wants to return the default error handler. So you have to pass a pointer to a variable. Like this (untested): xmlGenericErrorFunc handler; initGenericErrorDefaultFunc(&handler); If I understand your intentions properly, this is not the function you actually want to use to suppress errors. Use xmlSetGenericErrorFunc() instead. You can use initGenericErrorDefaultFunc() to … Read more

Call function use pointer

First of all: Your functions void my_int_func(int x) and void my_int_func2(int y) do not return anything (return type void). They just prompt the input parameters to stdout. What you probably want is something like that #include <iostream> using namespace std; int my_int_func(int x) { return x; } int my_int_func2(int x) { return x; } void … Read more
