Hi,
I was reading a post about how to learn C programming and someone
mentioned this, *(int f()) in a struct. It is not in any C code, I
guess the guy was showing that there are some tricky part in C.
It does look tricky to me, what does it mean?
Is the following correct?
f is a function; the function returns an integer; this integer is de-
referenced just like a function pointer.
Can someone show me an example usage of such declaration?

It needs more context.
What you've shown is neither a declaration nor an expression
nor any other C construct that I'm familiar with.

This is not a valid declaration ; perhaps you
are remembering it wrongly.
f is a function; the function returns an integer; this integer is de-
referenced just like a function pointer.
Integers cannot be dereferenced.
A function returning int would be:
int f();
which cannot occur in a struct definition.
A pointer to function returning int would be:
int (*f)();

Does not look like it can be correct in any context.

That does not make any sense at all. This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics
