Oh, I am terribly sorry. I didn't realize I am not allowed to speak
without your permission.

In that case, your statement of the problem is a lie:
you are not doing this:

  For those methods, my parent class will declare that method as
  the signal handler.

but instead are doing something else.

If you are doing what I think you are, then it is trivial to modify
your scheme to call overridden virtual methods without the need
to first figure out which methods are overridden.

To answer your 'actual question':
- there is no portable way to take address of a virtual function, and
- even for non-virtual functions, comparing their addresses is
  non portable: on some platforms (e.g. IA64) 2 function pointers
  may compare unequal, yet both may point to the same function.

Hmm, I am not sure what provoked your reaction above, but it
certainly qualifies *you* as a jerk in my book.

I think I'll just ignore you from now on.
Good luck. Plonk!
