I am using funcp's, as I said in the original post. The issue is that I want to define those funcp's at runtime. Otherwise, I'm stuck with a kitchen-sink of small functions that have different signatures, which means I'm stuck with one of a few undesirable options:
  1. I create a catchall signature, which is ugly, but manageable
  2. I use void* pointers in my data structure, forcing me to cast all my funcp's. (Would this even work??)
  3. I don't use the same data structure, instead using void* and casting the templated nodes in my array. (Would this even work??)
  4. Use a signature that has varargs in it. But, that's ugly and bypasses a lot of the benefits of using a stronglystatically-typed language. (Would this even work??)

Nope. Give me funcp's every time.

Update:Fixed error as per hardburn's reply.

I shouldn't have to say this, but any code, unless otherwise stated, is untested
