pointer to function

[LabZDjee]

As main gets strings as arguments, it would be interesting to transform some of those strings into calls to functions (for example, associating those strings to function pointers in a lookup array). However, I could find not way to express a pointer to function and run it. For example, let's take a function which takes an int and returns an int. In C, a typedef is usually declared:

typedef int (*pFct)(int);

This construct is unsupported. Moreover, defining a function with such a pointer-to-function is unsupported either. E.g.:

int executeMe(int(*pFct)(int), int val) {return pFct(int);}

Is there a workaround? It could significantly improve scripts in an constrained embedded environment.

If not, and if you can suggest where in the source code this feature could be implemented, I would be happy to try this myself. But maybe this is a fundamentally tough undertaking...
