I just cannot manage to understand why the statement: typedef int (FACopyProgressProc)(long par, long value, long max);
gives the error: error: two or more data types in declaration of `FACopyProgressProc' and not once but four times for the same line... this with gcc 3.3 under mac os X can anybody help me?
I assume that what you want is: typedef int (* FACopyProgressProc)(long par, long value, long max); // missing '*' before FACopyProgressProc
yes, this was what I was doing in the first time, then I removed the '*', just for trying if would change things, but it didn't: always the same dreaded " error: two or more data types in declaration of `FACopyProgressProc'"; I must stress the fact that the original line (i.e. with the '*') does compile without any glitch with other C compilers, such as CodeWarrior, for instance, but now I have to recompile all the stuff under Linux, and my first pass was trying with gcc..
i.e. you are trying to create a function pointer. You can then do:
FACopyProgressProc proc = &ProgressProc;
yes, precisely, but as I just said I was in despair, an tried everything (almost) to give up that obscure error message...even randomly...just to see what it happens.. I even looked up that message with google and found a pair of request about it in other lists, but apparently nowhere a clearer explanation of the error was given!
anyway thanks for answering!
