Er. Slimmer. But not much slower.

typedef int ( *rockbox_function )( int, void* ) ;
 
#define BUTTON_COUNT 10 ;
#define STATE_COUNT 10 ;

static rockbox_function known_rockbox_function[] = {
 &f_1, &f_2, ... } ;
// 4 bytes per func.

static unsigned char extra_level_of_indirection[ STATE_COUNT ][ BUTTON_COUNT ] = {
  1, 1, 2, 0, ...} ;
// 100 bytes total

 

// at global scope
rockbox_function current_state_buttons[ BUTTON_COUNT ] ;

void enter_state( int state ) {
  for( int i = 0 ; i < BUTTON_COUNT ; ++i ) {
    current_state_buttons[ i ] = known_rockbox_function[ extra_level_of_indirection[ state ][ i ] ] ;
  }
}
...

//button code

int pressed( int button ) {
  int extra_data_int = get_extra_data_int() ; // whatever
  void* extra_data_ptr = get_extra_data_ptr() ;
  return ( *( current_state_buttons[ button ] )( extra_data_int, extra_data_ptr ) ;
}
