That's the whole point about instance methods, and why Mars said
that you couldn't do anything useful with them -- an instance
method, in any language, involves passing along some extra
information that identifies the instance. There is no way for you
to know (because it's not documented) what form this information
takes, so there is certainly no reliable way for whatever's
invoking the callback to know that and do it properly.
Well, you can do it in C++ with C++ classes
I don't know what you're talking about. A C++ compiler will not allow
you to get the address of an instance method.
