Yes, this works when I do it in main but not when I call the 
original member function.
The struct has to be marked shared in this case. Otherwise the 
compiler does not allow to call member functions with shared 
pointer. It still does not work.
It works when I move the function out of the struct. Thanks to 
ufcs, I do not have to change any other code: sendtext(uart,text) 
is the same than uart.sendtext(text)

I think the problem is here: when outside, the functon gets the 
real pointer with all additions. When inside, the function gets 
only bare 'this' without additional info.

I have no idea what to do for this but now I have a workaround 
and I can get one step ahead again.
