Callback issues error: invalid use of non-static data member
EDIT: Updated clean reproducible example.
I'm a beginner in C++ with a few years experience with C, so apologies if I am going about this the wrong way. I have tried to break down the issue to as small an example of code as I can. In my code I have inherited a C callback function and inside this I want to trigger another callback from a class member.
I am having two issues:
a) I don't have an instance of Range in Callback and the callback does not have a void * param for me to use.
b) I am getting an error message
error: invalid use of non-static data member ‘Range::cbk’
I'm just starting to learn C++ and the rules of OOP so apologies if I am doing things that are fundamentally flawed.
#include <iostream>
#include <functional>
class Range
{
public:
typedef std::function<void()> TCallback;
TCallback cbk;
Range()
{
cbk = std::bind(&Range::RunTest, this);
}
void Close() {}
~Range() { Close(); }
void RunTest()
{
std::cout << "RunningTestn";
}
};
static void Callback(bool ev)
{
if (ev)
Range::cbk();
}
int main()
{
std::function<void(bool)> test;
Range r1;
test = std::bind(Callback, 1);
test(1);
return 0;
}

You can't call a member function without an instance.
You did it right in the Range constructor; you did it wrong in main and Callback.
static void Callback(Range* ptr, bool ev)
{
if (ev)
ptr->cbk();
}
And:
test = std::bind(Callback, &r1, 1);
// ^^^^^
If you can't change Callback, then what you want to do is simply impossible. You'd have to have some global Range pointer, but this is really minging. Ultimately it's why classes were invented but if you can't use them because you're stuck with a really flat C API then you just have to hack around it like you would in C.

Thanks very much for the input; yes this is exactly the issue I can't change the declaration of Callback. I will probably go down the global pointer route even though I will need an array of global pointers for multiple instances. As ugly as this it seems my only option.

@tech1990 Pretty much. As an aside the callback is poorly designed because, knowing that this was always a problem, people tended to at least stick avoid*in there for passing information.
