How to avoid pointers, dynamic allocation, and malloc when using the function pointer in the class in C++

[David student]

Hello All,

How to avoid pointers, dynamic allocation, and malloc when using the function pointer in the class in C++

mailAPI is the function pointer of the structure. And this structure has the callbacks like as shown below:

mailcallbacks.h

typedef struct
{
short (*getmails) (int * numberOfmails);
}mailAPI;


I am using the above defined function pointer (mailAPI) like as shown below:

CMyClass.h

static mailAPI* m_pAPIs;

CMyClass.cpp

mailAPI* CMyClass::m_pAPIs = nullptr;
int CMyClass::Initialize()
{
m_pAPIs = (mailAPI*)malloc(sizeof(mailAPI));
if (m_pAPIs == nullptr)
{
return -1;
}
}

I was asked to avoid pointers, dynamic allocation, and malloc.
And asked to define statically in the class.

Can someone please help me how to do this?

Thanks in Advance,
