Determine the address of the executable function for a given function name.

Determine the address of the executable function for a given function name.

Please note the following when using this function:

• The functions received bei reflection must of course be called with the parameters matching the function!
• A shortened call like reflection ("name") (param1, ...) is syntactically not allowed. So you always have to take the bypass via an int variable!
• Functions can passed directly as parameters to other functions without reflection of course. The way via reflection is only necessary if you have to check the existence of the function beforehand.

Name	Type	Default	Description
Return	int		Not 0 : address of the executable function in memory 0 : Function not found
funcname	char*	-	Name of a function

float my_func (float f)
{
    return f*2.0;
}

int test (char * func_name, float f)
{
    int 	fn = reflection (func_name);

    if (fn)	showmessage ("%s (%f) = %f", func_name, f, fn (f));
    else 	showmessage ("Function %s is not defined", func_name);
    return 0;
}

int main ()
{
    test ("sin", 	30.0);
    test ("my_func", 	30.0);
    test ("sdjhfg", 	30.0);

    return 0;
}
