c++ gsl interaction between objects in ode - c++

Question

Would you please help me with my problem. I'm trying to write a program where objects in different class interact. I base my model on the gsl library to resolve my ordinary differential equations (ode).
Instances of different classes consume each other, so they get or loose mass when they eat or are eaten.
My 2 ode are like b[i] = sum of consumption - sum of consumed. I calculate consumption as follow, with 1 being the consumer and 0, the prey.
conso[1] = y[0] * x[1] * y[1]
The original code comes from "sample code using gsl routines" as follow with modifications. The instances of class A and B are included in maps of class C.
I'm new to c++ and I don't see how I can integrate a loop in the ode to make it calculate what has been consumed by each instance, and remove it from the other instances that have been eaten. The best would be to use functions and variables that are in the istances class but the function where the ode are has to be static. I thought about array but it seems that arrays can't be parameters of the odes.
The other problem is that for each instance, the parameters has to change and be taken in the class, but how I did here, in the loop with the iterators, the ode will work for the last instance... Again I would have like to use an array of class C that take the parameter of the instances in class A and B, but because the function is static I can't use the array of the class "C". I'm in real trouble !
Do you have any ideas ? Thank you !

I tried to add consumption, but it says "error: 'void' must be the first and only parameter if
specified" :
int C :: rhs (double , const double y[], double f[], void *params_ptr, void conso)
{
// get parameter(s) from params_ptr; here, just a double
double x = *(double *) params_ptr;
double z = *(double *) params_ptr;

for(itB=B.begin(); itB!=B.end(); ++itB)
{
void conso = itA->second.conso(itB->second, x);
}
}
//***With in class A :
