Interesting stuff, thanks all that replied. I think was just trying to related the function type to the syntax seen in other types, the fact is that the function type is a bit special I suppose, so I should really just take it by itself. I think I've seen all the possible uses for it thanks to the replies I've had here anyway. It's always interesting to see syntax from the murkier corners of the C++ repertoire :) Thanks again, Gaz -----Original Message----- From: boost-users-bounces@lists.boost.org [mailto:boost-users-bounces@lists.boost.org] On Behalf Of John Maddock Sent: 06 January 2005 10:45 To: boost-users@lists.boost.org Subject: Re: [Boost-users] Re: a question on boost::is_function
Could I do ...
int (int) * p_my_function_pointer;
Or some other such madness? I'm reading MSDN about the indirection operator at the moment, maybe that will help to clear this up in my head. Can you recommend a page on "function types".
You can certainly do it via a typedef: typedef int mysig(int); mysig* p_my_function; // declares function pointer mysig myproc; // declares a function called myproc with signature mysig.
