C++11-signal-slot-syntax, use member function "pointers" as function arguments

Greetings, everyone!

I've got a class that represents kind of a tool bar. To add an action, I've managed to provide the following two methods:

Code:

---

QAction* addAction(QString title, QObject* receiver, char* slot);
QAction* addAction(QString title, std::function<void()> functor);

---

These methods allow me to do things like these:

Code:

---

theToolBar->addAction("foo", theReceiver, SLOT(theSlot()));
theToolBar->addAction("bar", [](){ bar(); })

---

Now one thing I did not accomplish: Use the new cool C++11-signal-slot-syntax!

I'd like to write my code like this:

Code:

---

theToolBar->addAction("foobar", theReceiver, &TheReceiverClass::theSlot)

---

But how would the signature of the new overload of addAction look like?

I would appreciate any help. (Quite honestly, this wouldn't be an important fetaure at all but at least it would be consistent.)

Given that the method signature is e.g.,

Code:

---

void theSlot(int);

---

then the type is,

Code:

---

void (TheReceiverClass::*)(int)

---

I suggest you typedef this like,

Code:

---

void (TheReceiverClass::*MyTypeDef)(int);

---

making your addAction look like,

Code:

---

addAction(string, QObject*, MyTypeDef);

---

It's a Qt5 syntax, not a C++11 one. The only thing C++11 introduces in this regard is lambda expressions.
