Pass C++ Class Member Function as a callable function in AIR Native Extension

Question

I'm writing an ANE and I'd like to know if anyone has been able to pass a C++ class member function pointer as a callable function from AIR? I have tried this so far with a little bit of C++11 trickery and it's crashing. I've also statically linked the libstdc++ into my library, according to the documentation, in order to ensure that these features I use work correctly. I have code like so:
FakeWorld* world = new FakeWorld();
*numFunctions = 1;
memberFunctions = (FRENamedFunction*) malloc(sizeof(FRENamedFunction) * (*numFunctions));
ANEMemberFunction mCreateFakeBody = std::tr1::bind(&FakeWorld::createFakeBody, world, std::tr1::placeholders::_1, std::tr1::placeholders::_2, std::tr1::placeholders::_3, std::tr1::placeholders::_4);
ANEFunction* createFakeBody = mCreateFakeBody.target<ANEFunction>();
memberFunctions[0].name = (const uint8_t*) "createFakeBody";
memberFunctions[0].functionData = NULL;
memberFunctions[0].function = createFakeBody;
FRESetContextNativeData(ctx, (void*)world);
I just realized I'm using C here for allocating the member functions array.. silly me, but I don't think this is the cause of my issue. I refuse to believe that Adobe has built to the Native Extensions portion of the runtime in such a way that I have to cram every single function I want to create (natively) into a global, C formatted namespace (Especially since the documentation says that C is only required for the extenion and context initializing function interfacing and the rest of the code can be done in C++ or objective-C). So please let me know if and how this is possible and I thank you so much in advance for your time!P.
P.S. Currently when I run this code, I can do the object initialization just fine. As soon as I invoke the "createFakeBody" method on the native side, the runtime dies and simply says:

Thanks again for your assitance.

It's been a little while since i've dealt with C++ and not up to speed on tr1 or C++0x, so forgive me if i'm not helping.
The the examples of std::tr1::bind that i'm seeing out there seem to be either dereferencing the bound 'this' pointer when creating the bound method, i.e. in your case *world instead of world, or using std::tr1::ref(*world), therefore i believe that bind expects the bound parameters to be passed by reference.
Given that the result of std::tr1::bind is callable (basing that on http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3678884/virtual-member-functions-and-stdtr1function-how -does-this-work) could you simplify to the following:
memberFunctions[0].name = (const uint8_t*) "createFakeBody";
memberFunctions[0].functionData = NULL;
memberFunctions[0].function = std::tr1::bind(&FakeWorld::createFakeBody, *world, std::tr1::placeholders::_1, std::tr1::placeholders::_2, std::tr1::placeholders::_3, std::tr1::placeholders::_4);
Or for an even simpler starting point, creating a test member function 'helloWorld' in FakeWorld that takes no arguments and using:
memberFunctions[0].name = (const uint8_t*) "helloWorld";
memberFunctions[0].functionData = NULL;
memberFunctions[0].function = std::tr1::bind(&FakeWorld::helloWorld, *world);
Hope this helps.
