This code confuses me... It's from the c mysql windows dll, libmysql.dll.

  size_t (*snprintf)(struct charset_info_st *, char *to, size_t n,
                     const char *fmt,
                     ...) ATTRIBUTE_FORMAT_FPTR(printf, 4, 5);

	You can safely ignore the “ATTRIBUTE_FORMAT_FPTR(printf, 4, 5)”.
All it does is that it enables the compiler to check the format
string against the variable arguments and generate a warning if they
do not match.

Is part of your message gone?

That I understood :) Thanks!

	Then if the issue is with the rest of the definition, it is more or
less equivalent to (you will need to translate the argument
declaration too):

alias size_t function (struct charset_info_st *, char *to, size_t n,
                       const char *fmt,
                       ...) snprintf;

Checked the web newsinterface, and I see your post. In thunderbird I got another post from Tom with the subject "Struct reference returning function and const members" in your post...

The definition is inside a struct. I shouldn't use an alias then..?

This is the C struct:
typedef struct my_charset_handler_st
{
  // snip
  size_t (*snprintf)(struct charset_info_st *, char *to, size_t n,
                     const char *fmt,
                     ...) ATTRIBUTE_FORMAT_FPTR(printf, 4, 5);
  // snip
}

And this is my D struct:
struct my_charset_handler_st
{
  // snip
  size_t  function(charset_info_st*, char* to, size_t n,
                const char* fmt,
                ...) snprintf;
  // snip
}

	No, you are right, I thought there was a typedef in the C code...

	Yes, that should be about right.
