Function pointer and ofstream

[jorgen]

Hello! I'm trying to create a function pointer to a member of std::ofstream and get an error. Here's the code:

int main() {

	ofstream bout;
	bout.open("bina.dat");
	void (*funcp)(const char*, streamsize) = NULL;    
	funcp = &bout.write(); 

	bout.close();
	return 0;
}

The error is: "no matching function for call to 'std::basic_ofstream<char>::write()' ." Any ideas?

You are way off the mark.

Here is an excellent tutorial on function pointers

Learn the syntax
bout.write(); is a call
void (*funcp)(const char*, streamsize) is not the correct prototype for a member function
