Convert cursor to row object

Question

I have a pipeline function as
row_t AS OBJECT(...);
table_t IS TABLE OF row_t
func_a RETURN table_t PIPELINED AS ...
And another function which will take row_t as parameter:
func_b(row_in row_t)
Now, in a procedure, I would like to pass each row from pipeline function to func_b
FOR c IN (SELECT * FROM TABLE(func_a())) LOOP
-- The following code gives compilation error,
-- How do I convert c to row_t type???
some_var := func_b(c);
END LOOP;
Any suggestion? Thanks all in advance!

Doesn't seem like a very "smart" idea to loop through the pipelined function and call func_b. Why not just incorporate the pipelined function directly in to func_b ?
Aside from that, I think all you need to do is reference the value in your current cursor, you selected * from the pipelined function so the column should be COLUMN_VALUE by default. So you would pass c.column_value ... not 100% sure if that'll work. If you would have posted a small and simple piece of code I could run on my Oracle instance I'd give you a definitive answer
