Hiya all,
I am trying to use function pointers. I know that usually if you use a
pointer to an object, you have to release the memory at the end by
calling the delete keyword. I was wondering if this is the same for
function pointers. And if yes, how do you do that ? And how do you
assign it to 0 or Null. Here below I have written a small program. I
use an array of function pointer. Because the function pointer is
located in the main() function, I know that when the program exits,
memory is automatically released. But I what if I use it in another
function which I call many times where the function pointer is being
assigned many times. How then should I released the memory ? Many
thanks in advance.

#include <iostream>
#include <map>
#include <string>
using namespace std;

class test
{
    public:
       void f()
       {
           cout<<"f function"<<endl;
       }

       void g()
       {
           cout<<"g function"<<endl;
       }
};

int main()
{
    void (test::*fArr[2])();
    test t ;
    map<string, int> fP ;
    fP["f"] = 0;
    fP["g"] = 1;

    fArr[0] = &test::f;
    fArr[1] = &test::g;

    (t.*fArr[fP["f"]])();

    cout<<"Program finish"<<endl;
    return 0;
}
