This question is for tests purposes, nothing more.
I'm currently trying to store function pointers with a different number of parameters (and these parameters can have different types).
Basically, I've coded the following code snippet in C++11:
#include <functional>
#include <iostream>
void fct(int nb, char c, int nb2, int nb3) {
std::cout << nb << c << nb2 << nb3 << std::endl;
}
template <typename... Args>
void call(void (*f)(), Args... args) {
(reinterpret_cast<void(*)(Args...)>(f))(args...);
}
int main(void) {
call(reinterpret_cast<void(*)()>(&fct), 42, 'c', 19, 94);
}
I convert a void(*)(int, char, int, int)
function pointer into a generic void(*)()
function pointer. Then, by using variadic template parameters, I simply recast the function pointer to its original type and call the function with some parameters.
This code compiles and runs. Most of the times, it displays the good values. However, this code gives me some Valgrind errors under Mac OS (concerning uninitialized values) and it sometimes displays some unexpected garbage.

I find this quite curious because when I call the function, I have recasted the function pointer to its original type. I thought it was similar to casting a datatype to void*
and then recasting it into the original datatype.
What is wrong with my code? Can't we cast function pointers to void(*)()
pointer and then recast this pointer to the original function pointer signature?
If not, is there some other ways to achieve this? I'm not interested in std::bind
which does not what I want.
