# C++ to other contract calls

The `ContractHost` class employs templated functions to support flexible and efficient interaction with contracts. These templates enable passing any combination of arguments and return types (including `void`) to and from other types of contracts. This use of templates helps to leverage the fast ABI encoding/decoding processes, ensuring optimal performance and flexibility during contract execution:

```cpp
template <typename R, typename C, typename... Args>
R callContractViewFunction(
  const BaseContract* caller, const Address& targetAddr,
  R(C::*func)(const Args&...) const, const Args&... args
) const;

template <typename R, typename C, typename... Args>
R callContractFunction(
  BaseContract* caller, const Address& targetAddr,
  const uint256_t& value,
  R(C::*func)(const Args&...), const Args&... args
);
```

This approach allows for dynamic interaction with contracts without pre-defining all possible function signatures, accommodating various contract behaviors and states dynamically.

# Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation

If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.applayer.com/testnet/evm-contracts/cpp-to-other-contract-calls.md?ask=<question>
```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
