For data members, it's quite straight forward:
template<typename T>
struct get_pointer_to_member_details;
template<typename Class,typename Member>
struct get_pointer_to_member_details<Member Class::*>
{
typedef Class class_type;
typedef Member member_type;
};
then use it like so:
template<typename pointer_to_member_type>
void foo(pointer_to_member_type AMember)
{
// extract class from pointer to member
typedef typename get_pointer_to_member_details<
pointer_to_member_type>::class_type class_type;
}
I can't remember OTOMH whether or not this will match
pointer-to-member-functions; I've a feeling that you'll have to partially
specialize get_pointer_to_member_details for each member function type you
want to match (number of args and cv-qualification)
