No. You must supply a specific object instance to invoke the pointed-to
member function.

>   Or are function pointers stored only for virtual member functions?

They are stored for all kinds of member functions. The trick for correctly
storing and invoking ptrs-to-virtual-member-fns is a bit subtle. Write
some example code and then look at the C-code generated.
