On: How Do I Declare a Function Pointer in C?

[bstamour]

Yeah, typedefs solve the problem for fixed types. I guess you could use a macro to create a generic FUNC_PTR or something as well.

[ramshorns → bstamour]

Macros are often a bad idea for defining types. If you do

    #define INT_PTR int*
    INT_PTR p, q;

the code is actively misleading. Is there a better way to do it for function pointers?

[flukus → ramshorns]

There are a few other problems with multiple declarations aren't there? I though they were discouraged in c.
