Explanation of function pointers

It's a little perplexing. Function type and pointer to function type are distinct kinds (no more similar than int and pointer to int). However, in virtually all cases, a function type decays to a reference to a function type. In this context, rotting roughly refers to conversion (there is a difference between type conversion and decaying, but you are probably not interested in it right now). What matters is that practically every time you use a function type, you end up with a reference to the function type. But take note of the nearly - almost every time is not always! And there are rare circumstances where it does not. typedef void(functionPtr)(int); functionPtr fun = function; This code tries to clone one function to another (not the pointer! the function!) However, this is not feasible since functions in C++ cannot be copied. The compiler does not let this, and I'm surprised you got it compiled (you say you got linker errors?) Now for the code: typedef void(functionPtr)(int); functionPtr function; function(5); function does ...READ MORE
