Dispatch table

In computer science, dispatch table is a list of pointers to actual implementation of each method. Use of this table is a common technique when implementing late binding[?] in object-oriented programming. Generally, OOP languages support the table as built-in feature to provide seemless late binding.

struct method
{
  void (*func) ();
};

table[] = {
  func_a,
  func_b,
};
