Potentially, but the fix is fairly simple. Create a global that holds pointers to the functions. Have the
code that wants to pass pointers to those functions read the pointers from that global.

However, this begs the question of why the part of your code that currently tries to pass the function
pointers isn't being recognised as referring to the functions in question. How does that code work?
