I think you would need a mapping from function name >> function address. Otherwise you must look it up at runtime. Then some conditionals on the function name to determine what function to call based on the mapping described. All arguments then must be parsed according to the function signature and exceptions parsing must be caught and handled gracefully.

If you are doing it in C++ you need to figure out the calling convention of the function as well as its prototype to recreate a valid calling method to it. Then you need to figure out what the params are when calling the function.
