Hello to all,

in an approach to porting from Solaris to Linux encountered
several errors of the art:

For those that are interested to help me following code is included:

### intraHO.h
#ifndef intraHO__h 
#define intraHO__h intraHO__h

#include <vector>

#include "HOdelay.h"
#include "HOfailure_def.h"
#include "defResult.h"

  void execute_intraHO(Mobilestation& aMobile);
  void failure_HCS_HO(Mobilestation& aMobile);
  void failure_intraHO(Mobilestation& aMobile);
...
};

inline intraHO::intraHO(Microlayer& aMicrolayer, Macrolayer& aMacrolayer)
  : micro_ref(aMicrolayer), macro_ref(aMacrolayer), intraHOfailure(this), intraHCSfailure(this), dropOnHCS(false)

 intraHCSfailure.setHOexeFunction(execute_HCS_HO);
 intraHOfailure.setFailureFunction(failure_intraHO);
 intraHCSfailure.setFailureFunction(failure_HCS_HO);
...
}

#### HO_failure_def.h
#ifndef HOfailure_def__h

      ++failedHO;
      if(aMobile.get_owner()->get_ref())
        {

          ++failedHORef;
        }
      (HOptr->*atfailure)(aMobile);
    }
  else
    {
      ++notfailedHO;
      if(aMobile.get_owner()->get_ref())
        ++notfailedHORef;
      (HOptr->*executeHO)(aMobile);
    }
}

#endif // HOfailure_def__h


####HO_failure.h
#ifndef HOfailure__h
#define HOfailure__h HOfailure__h

#include <vector>

};

template<class HOType>

{
  executeHO = fp;
}

template<class HOType>
inline void HOfailure<HOType>::setFailureFunction(void (HOType::*fp)(Mobilestation&))
{
  atfailure = fp;
}

I'm trying to substitute the private part in class intraHO.h
by
  void (intraHO::*execute_HCS_HO)(Mobilestation& aMobile);
  void (intraHO::*execute_intraHO)(Mobilestation& aMobile);
  void (intraHO::*failure_HCS_HO)(Mobilestation& aMobile);
  void (intraHO::*failure_intraHO)(Mobilestation& aMobile);

what produces the appropriating errors in intraHO.cc

I'm not sure if that is the right way to define a pointer to member
function because on Solaris it compiles without problems.
Or there is another reason to overcome the problem. Maybe is a
kind of error due to bad style programming ?
