Hi,
At my work, we have a need for a pointer to a pointer
to a function returning void and having void parameters.
Since this is an embedded system, we have to assign the
variable with a constant value (address).
We came up with the following:
#define LOCATION 0x10000
typedef void (*FuncPtr)(void );
typedef *FuncPtr PtrFuncPtr;
/* usage */
if (*((PtrFuncPtr) LOCATION) != NULL)
{
(**LOCATION)(); /* Execute function */
}
The above "if" statement should be translated to:
If the value at 0x10000 is not NULL,
execute the function pointed to by the
value in location 0x10000.
The function takes void parameters and returns void.
What is the syntax for declaring a pointer to a pointer
to a function taking no parameters and returning void?
{In other words, what is the syntax to combine the
two typedefs into one?}
{Or /where does the 2nd asterisk (*) get placed?}

Let me try this by hand. I might screw up, so any C gurus out there,
feel free to correct me.
Function taking no parameters and returning void:
void function(void)
Pointer to a function taking no parameters and returning void:
void (*function)(voi d)
Pointer to a pointer to a function taking no parameters and returning
void:
void (**function)(vo id)
I believe that's it.

That's fine, and the original typedefs were *almost* correct. Note the
change in the second:
typedef void (*FuncPtr)(void );
typedef FuncPtr *PtrFuncPtr;
In general, to create a typedef, declare a variable of the appropriate
type, then stick "typedef" in front.

Hi all,
Just before Christmas Chris Torek gave me some great advice about closures in C:
<http://groups.google.co.nz/groups?selm=cqcl3k030vj%40news3.newsguy.com&output=gplain>
It includes this declaration of a function pointer variable called fp:
void (*fp)(void *);
What does the syntax above mean? I can only digest it as void * fp,
i.e. fp is a pointer to void.

This one is driving me slightly batty. The code in question is
buried deep in somebody else's massive package but it boils down to
this, two pointers are declared, the first is:
char **resname
which is part of the "atoms" structure that is passed into the function
from the outside. I have not yet found where it is allocated but I'm
reasonably sure from other chunks of this code that it was by:

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
