Ah... OK, now, without the alias I get it ; )

Thanks

	On second thought, I think you got it right, except that there
shouldn't be an alias here: it should simply be:

void function (int) signal (int, void (function (int));

	The "alias" version would actually be equivalent to:

typedef void (*signal(int, void (*)(int)))(int);

How about a tool that parses a type and displays a parse tree? How about the other way, edit the parse tree and it give you the type? I'm thinking a GUI app of some sort.

This is a function prototype, not a type decl :)  The linker would then expect to find this function somewhere else.

:|  I'm not entirely sure what that means.

But the alias makes signal a function type:

alias void function(int) signal(int, void function(int));
//signal s; // error, cannot declare s as function type
signal* s; // OK, s is a function pointer

	So is the C version when it doesn't have the "typedef". You would
find this in a header file:

- -------------------->8====================
void (*signal(int, void (*)(int)))(int);
====================8<--------------------

	And this in the associated source file:

- -------------------->8====================
void (*signal(int, void (*)(int)))(int)
{
   // Code for the signal function
}
====================8<--------------------

	And the equivalent in C:

- -------------------->8====================

typedef void (*signal(int, void (*)(int)))(int);
signal  s1;     // OK: s1 is a function, but it needs to be
                // defined somewhere
signal* s2;     // OK: s2 is a function pointer

...

s2 = s1;        // Now, s2 points to the s1 function

...

void (*s1 (int val, void (*func)(int)))(int) {
   // Code for the s1 function
}

====================8<--------------------
