Hello there everyone,

Thanx for reading me. I have a function which needs to return a pointer
to a function but unfortunately I dont know how the header should be
like. get_fn (see below) takes a char* argument and must return a
pointer to a function taking no arguments and return an int. I tried
both
	(int(*)()) get_fn(char* name) { // code here }
and
	int(*)() get_fn(char* name) { // code here }

I also tried

	typedef int(*)() fnptr;

	fnptr get_fn(char* name) { // code here }

but nothing works, any help? Please email me because I don't regularly
read the news.

Kevin
