Help with a C++ Problem

How would I go about returning the value of x, y , doStuff(), doStuff2(), in the extractThing function in the following code. 

class Thing
{
private:
    int x;
    int y;
    virtual int doStuff()
    {
        return x+y;
    }
    virtual int doStuff2()
    {
        return x*y;
    }
public:
    Thing(){
        x = 2;
        y = 10;
    }
};

int extractThing(void* thing)
{


    return 0;
}

int main()
{
    Thing thing;
    printf("%d\n", extractThing(&thing));
    return 0;
}

Thanks
