In article <68@armada.UUCP>, I write:

In my previous posting, you can get around this error by using a typedef.
For some reason, this:
   > doThis(int (*f)())
   > {
   >     f();
   > }
doesn't work but this does:
   typedef int (*ptrFunc)();
   doThis(ptrFunc f)
   {
       f();
   }

In any event, it's still a bug.
