Need enlightenment with this line of code

[Aceix]

Was surfing and came across this line(supposed to be C) and I cant even make meaning of it.

  int *(*foo[20]) (char *c);

please explain

[coder777]

It's an array of function pointer. The function has this signature:

int *f1(char *c)
{
    cout << c;
    return 0;
}

and is use like this:

int main()
{
    int *(*foo[20]) (char *c);

    foo[0] = f1;

...

    char x[] = "str";
    int *res = (*foo[0])(x);

    return 0;
}

haha :)

this syntax is a special beast in C++, and it's not the worst one...

ex: an array of pointers to member function:

struct foo
{
	int* bar(char*) { return new int; };
};

void f()
{
	int* (foo::*bar[20])(char*);
	bar[0] = &foo::bar;

	*(*(new foo).*bar[0])(new char('x')) = 100;
}
