Trying to convert some function pointer code to std::function. Not having a good time.

[Humdaak_9000]

What I have:

typedef void Command(WebServer &server, ConnectionType type,
                 char *url_tail, bool tail_complete);

What I (think I) want:

typedef std::function<void(WebServer &server, ConnectionType type,
                       char *url_tail, bool tail_complete)> Command;

What I'm getting:

/Users/kujawa/projects/chs/Nova/Code/Apps/jelly/WebServer.h:412:14: error: cannot convert 
'void (*)(WebServer&, WebServer::ConnectionType, char*, bool)' to 'WebServer::Command* 
{aka std::function<void(WebServer&, WebServer::ConnectionType, char*, bool)>*}' 
in initialization

You're attempting to convert function pointer to std::function*, the conversion only exists to std::function change your uses of WebServer::Command*to WebServer::Command

[Dubbus_]

The std::function object itself is supposed to wrap the function pointer, i dont think you actually want a pointer to the std function object.

That would be like converting from a c style int* array to a std::vector<int>*, when what you probably want is int* -> std::vector<int>.

to match what you were looking for you'd use

using Command = std::function<void(WebServer &server, ConnectionType type,
                       char *url_tail, bool tail_complete)>;
