[Boost-users] converting a string to a function name

Hi

is there a way to convert a string to a function name and fire it. like
void his_fun(){
  cout << "his is here" << endl;
}

vector<string> vec;
vec.push_back("his");
vec.push_back("me");

for(i=0; i<vec.size(); i++)
  string var = vec[i] + _fun;
  fire(var); and it will fire the routine "his_fun?

is so, how?

what whole idea is to avoid typing
vector<func_ptr> vec;
vec.push_back( &func_1 );
vec.push_back( &func_n );
...
thanks
