I know it's confusing. Most C++ programmers never see a function type in the wild. You can use remove_pointer to turn a pointer-to-function into a function.

Could I do ...

int (int) * p_my_function_pointer;

No, but you can do typedef int my_function( int ); and now do my_function * my_function_pointer; You can even do struct X { my_function f; }; but don't ask me why you'd want or need to do that.
