Re: [Boost-users] Member-Function to String conversion.

You need two maps (string->pointer and pointer->string), a bimap should do the work. Isn't it possible to cast a function pointer to a generic void * pointer as the base class for the bimap?

Sorry, this doesn't work. A "pointer to a member function" is _not_ a "function pointer" and not a general (void*) pointer. It's size is bigger than a pointer to a normal function because it stores additional information about the object. I haven't found a conversion between all "pointer to member functions" to something "comparable" like a normal pointer or a number or a string. (Maybe typeinfo helps? Is it portable?) Take a look at this for the strange objects that member function pointers are:
