[Question - C++] How to correctly deal with main thread functions

[prospectingemu]

Hi,

Currently working on a C++ dll for wow. Right now I have a static class to call functions like click-to-move and want to know how to deal with calling doString from here.

My doString hook looks like this. Currently set 'NEXT_COMMAND' and 'ARGUMENT' to run macros/get cool downs. This works in main BUT I cant put it my functions class because its not static. (I cant get the function pointer of a non-static member to pass to msdetours to make the code run)

int __fastcall mainThreadFunction()
{
	if (NEXT_COMMAND != EMPTY){
		originalDoString(NEXT_COMMAND.c_str(), " ");
		if (ARGUMENT !=  EMPTY){
			getText(argument.c_str());
		}
		NEXT_COMMAND =  EMPTY;
		ARGUMENT =  EMPTY;
	}
	return originalFunction;
}

Right now it works in main.cpp (where I set it up to test it) but it's obviously messy and going to cause problems later. If I want to have doString run outside of main I need to pass the location of NEXT_COMMAND and write directly to memory, is there an easier way to go about this?

Wow I feel dumb, just passing the pointer works fine - still if anyone has another way of dealing with this it would be interesting to see.

void Functions::doString(std::string * commandLocation, std::string command){
	*commandLocation = command;
	while (*commandLocation != "NULL"){
		Sleep(1);
	}
}
